Default Custom silicone hoses

I need a couple of custom silicone hoses making up for my saph but can't seem to find anyone who will make them for me.

Does anyone know a company that will?

Cheers,

Gaz.

I did speak to Paul a few weeks ago but tbh the general impression I got was that he didn't really want to make a custom one for me.

He was trying to steer me towards a hose that really didn't sound like what I needed.

To be fair to Paul he wasn't rude to me or anything (unlike a few big name companies I've spoken to - not naming any names) and did suggest a couple of options that may have worked but just didn't seem particularly interested in doing a custom job.

Just looked on the Viper Performance website and it says on there that they do bespoke and one off hoses so I shall give them a call on Monday!

I could make my own hoses but one of them would have about 3 or 4 joins in it thus creating further failure points and plus I don't think it would look particularly neat either. I just like things to be done as best as I can do!

Cheers for the links mate!

Do you know what's required to make a custom silcone hose?? If so you will know that a bespoke pattern has to be made for the hoses that are needed and if its a one off then it will end up in the bin afterwards, problem being the cost to make that pattern far outweighs what the actual hose is worth.. If you want to proceed then pm me and I will provide you with info for a company that can and will be able to sort this.

might it be easier to get something fab'ed out of alloy and joined up?
making a one off will be quite expensive.
