Hi MIchael,
Did you try VB or some of the UK suppliers? One of the UK suppliers also offers second hand parts. They may have what you are looking for.
Regards, Robin.

Are these just heater hoses.. or are they a moulded hose? You can see the shapes they are meant to be on the SS catalogue

heater hoses
sunbeam specialties has the moulded hose from the heater core to the valve for the series 5. i haven't seen a moulded hose for any other alpines since the dealers went out of business . they didn't use them much at the dealers when the cars were being sold new . regular heater hose made much more money for them . i wouldn't think of using any 40 year old hose anyway . i have been able to get the correct hoses for the 69 GT from speedy spares, but they do appear to be repros . a suggestion would be to scour the shelves at the auto parts for something close if you want something moulded .

I;m only seeing one hose that really needs a bend, the one from the heater valve to the head. Yes, I think you could find something on the rack you could cut down.

i'm assuming you're talking about the Water Pump to heater valve
Heater valve to matrix, matrix to engine heater hoses?
Can you not just buy heater hose and cut it to the right length?
This is what i did and it works fine.

Guys,
this is for a friends "factory correct" s3 car. He has normal hose that we cut to fit.. but we know their should be a moulded hose we were just wondering if anyone stocked it as its not listed in the major parts suppliers catalogues.. i guess we will start checking around for something thats close in path at the parts stores.

Are the hoses 1/2” inlet and 5/8” outlet that feeds into the control valve and then into th manifold via a 1/2” reducer?
