I got a full engine set of hoses for the V12 around 3 years ago from britishparts.co.uk (I think). Just about got round to fitting the last of them, & the upper radiator hoses aren't good - for the nearside upper hose, the angle of the hose where it joins the thermostat housing is wrong, the bend in the hose isn't 'bent' enough - it's about 20 degrees out, & when bolted up it puts a kink in the hose as a result.

Just wondering if anyone had encountered similar issues, or could recommend a supplier that can provide radiator hoses that are 100% copies of the originals.

 

My Manners kits have always been OK. Chuck the kinked hose and just buy the one you need from another supplier?
