Default Hydraulics for roof of XK8

Looking for an old set of hydraulic hoses for XK8 roof. Would like to have a set to give to my hose maker. That way as I feed my old ones out can feed in the new ones. Out with the bad in with the good.

Many thanks

Just get them from https://www.tophydraulicsinc.com/en/36-jaguar. You will get quality hoses that fit perfectly and are properly marked for ease of installation. I highly recommend them.

When I did mine I found that it was easy to run the new lines without chasing the old one on its way out. The new ones will be a lot smaller in diameter. In fact I cut up the old lines to speed the removal process.

Its great that you are planning ahead but I think you will be fine.

^^ What he said....

Wayne (cjd777) and I used Top Hydraulic hoses when we did his 2000 XK8's rear hoses and rams back in March/April 2015. They are superb quality. Just order from them and you will be fine....

+1 for the above.

Ordered the hoses from Top Hydraulics and was pleased with the product and their support.

This is a very labor intensive project. You don't want to do it twice. Get the good stuff.

I sent an old hydraulic top latch hose set to you USPS.
You should have them by now.

I too used Top Hydraulics a few years ago and very pleased. All hoses, all rams/ latches overhauled with updated seals. I operate top with confidence. Rich
