R33 Radiator Hoses Supplier..?

[psi]

Ok, like it says, I'm after a pair of radiator hoses.

The blue ones from Gates would do the trick.

3 of my local parts suppliers say that there is a massive back log for these things. I have been on a list for 7 months with one store!

I'm over it. I have a split hose, and they both replacing asap.

One of the suppliers said that the factory that makes those hoses suffered a massive fire, and hence the back log.

Anybody know anybody who sells them?

I was quoted $90 for the pair... if they EVER arrive!

I will consider another brand, but what? not keen on the ebay ones..

Gates is saying its at least 12 weeks before they 'may' start production again..
