Harey Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Hi All, As the topic suggests I am trying to find the best place to buy some black silicone joiners to replace my factory rubber. Is there a shop in melbourne that people know of that is a good price and good quality? I hate the monza brand that autobarn have plus they dont have black. I was hoping to find a physical store instead of an online store if possible, unless someone has a really good online store to recommend?

mr parts Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 http://www.vpw.com.au/category.asp?CatID=788&SubCatID=985&priorCatID=788 another thumbs up for the VPW stuff. been using it for years now and never had a single failure. have had ebay crap and other brands that has failed on customers cars when they have supplied it. replaced with proflow silicone hose and never had a single issue again.

paulr33 Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 yep go for truck part shops, they will never break and last a billion kms given the reliablity requirements they have also should be cheaper and not mega shiny Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/342027-best-place-to-buy-black-silicone-joiners-in-melbourne/#findComment-5602315 Share on other sites More sharing options...
