There are people with stamps out there. I assume they don't have the time or desire to do them for everybody.
Might not be feasible with shipping and administration, but I was thinking it'd be nice if we had some way to have a collection of them that we could all use/rent on an as needed basis.
Upper hose , 4 Radiator hose clamps and shipping was $ 70.. This car should clean up nicely. I want another BCA Archival Elite with this GS too. Original paint and interior, Nice chrome and stainless, original exhaust except the mufflers , Heavy dealer undercoating will have to wait for removal until this Winter. Original and unused spare , nice and original trunk paint. Clean and preserve is the new motto !
The Kleiner hose is a no go. His source of new Gates hoses has no inventory. I bought the two hoses CARS had in stock today. Maybe they will work. They will get stamped if they fit.
It is a numbers matching , original paint, original interior and mostly untouched car with a build sheet and Protect O Plate . I think it is worth it. Thanks..
I'm with you Scott - I want one for the body off resto. I'm embarking on (yes, I know it's a losing proposition $ wise, but it's a very unique example and I want that particular car). I hope we can make this happen, be it through having Gates/Goodyear, etc. make a small batch (preferable) or reproduction if we have to. The other problem is that apparently there isn't even an aftermarket hose available, correct markings aside, that properly fits a '70 GS 350.
If you're thinking about having hoses reproduced, maybe consider the upper overflow hose? The repro I have here is pretty close to dead on but not nearly as pliable as an OEM one and all the other available hoses aren't thick walled.
