Hi folks,
I am currently hunting down a P5 in N. America, and I may have found a car. I'll let you know if it turns out to be one worth buying!
Anyhow, if I do end up with a P5, one of the first things I generally end up doing on a recently purchased old car is replacing the flexible hoses for the brakes and for the clutch, provided that they haven't recently been replaced.
The search tool (even after changing the time setting from 7 days!) didn't turn anything up, other than the usual suspects for parts (Wadhams & Pierre). Being in the US, I'd like to avoid the cost of purchasing in the UK, if possible, so are the hoses shared with any other Cars?
Gordon H. mentioned that the fronts may be the same as a TR-3 Rear hose. What about the rear?
Tom
PS: I had to do this last year for my Riley 1.5, and it saved me a pile of time and money to be able to source the bits locally. For the record, it turns out that the Riley's front brake hoses are the same as an MGC Clutch slave hose, the clutch slave hose was nearly identical to one of the rear hoses on a TR6, and I can't remember what the rear brake hose was!
