Default Car has sat for 3 years - some hoses look like they need replacing

Hi

My 2wd Saff cossie has been laid up for the last 3 years. It has been garaged and in a dry climate and the car is in excellent shape however some of the hoses look a little worse for wear and need replacing. Is there a kit that someone offers to replace the main ones or do people just buy what they need?

Also, any advice on where to get a new radiator would help - just received the new magnex exhaust which is currently being fitted

Cheers

NZcossie

I recommend you a Pro Alloy radiator and also, as said before, some Samco or Roose hoses.

Just fitted a set of Roose silicone hoses to my 3dr after an engine rebuild. Got them in standard OE Classic black, and tbh unless you looked really closely, you'd never know the difference.
They also now do a boost hose set in the original finish
