I need to replace 4 hoses that run to lift cylinders for top. Front latch hoses were renewed by PO. I recall reading somewhere of a vendor in Florida, but have been unable to find that in search of the numerous threads on convertible top and green shower threads.....my searching skills are apparently not up to this?? Anyone have the contact information on this vendor?
Thanks in advance for your help with this!

 

Cabriolet Hydraulics, but not sure if they do Jag.

 

I checked…they have hoses for our Xk8 convertibles. Their website https://cabriolethydraulics.com/prod...draulic-hoses/

 

That's weird... If I'm reading it right they're saying that their hoses are a smaller diameter to INCREASE pressure in the system?! I thought one of the problems with the pump was it puts out TOO MUCH pressure?!

 

I used Cabriolet Hydraulics for my hoses - great product - have been in the car 8 years with no issues

 

Read it again. The OD is smaller, not the ID.

 

I used Top Hydraulics and they were excellent to deal with. https://www.tophydraulics.com/74-jag...rxk8-1996-2006

 

I used Top Hydraulics https://www.tophydraulics.com/36-jaguar. They provide high burst pressure rated, quality hoses. Excellent customer support. Changed mine five years ago and absolutely no problems since then.

 

Hose change is completed. Used hoses from Cabriolet Hydraulics. Quick shipping and reasonable price. 4 hoses for the two cylinders that power the top were $440. including shipping. I installed the pressure reduction spring from Dennis07 while fluid reservoir was empty. Thanks Dennis for your contribution to this project! All works flawlessly.

 

Well done....
