Mrs Keyser Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 It's a far cheaper alternative and does what it says on the tin. Surely you meant to say it does what it says on the "can" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taffyjason Posted March 8, 2013 Author Share Posted March 8, 2013 Earls Hoses is your answer. I'm going to be putting an order in if you're interested. any updates on the these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4RE Leather Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 They are recommended with FI, but I've got mine for one reason only..... See if anyone can guess Pretty Colours! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Earls Hoses is your answer. I'm going to be putting an order in if you're interested. any updates on the these? Payco has recently placed an order for ends and piping just for the ARC catch can and it was around the £140 mark, so going full braid on coolant as well I can't see being cheap. For instance you're looking at £22-30 per mtr. Then around £8-10 per end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Payco Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 My Earls hoses arrived today to fit to my NEW Arc V2 Oil Catch Can. The 3 hoses including ends delivered cost £142 as per Wasso's last post. Nice bit of kit. Cant believe the can and hoses have cost around £420 all in but it will look very nice when fitted and rare as a 100% meat burger from Tescos.

Sam Mcgoo Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 hmmmm too much outlay at the moment, my lovely ali polished catch can has come with garden hose look-alike hoses... Just get yourself to your local motor factor and get some standard black internally braided hose for £couple. Job done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy78 Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I've just ordered one from eBay with 10mm fittings. How much hose will I need for each side? Also, if you like the look of the braided hoses, but can't justify the price for Earls, is there anything stopping you from using some braided hose like this: with some coloured jubilee clips like this: Obviously, the quality will not be the same as Earls, but as long as the hose has the correct temp and pressure ratings, is there anything technically preventing using these for the coolant hoses etc. too?

taffyjason Posted March 9, 2013 Author Share Posted March 9, 2013 they look good, how much did you order? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy78 Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Not done it yet, but will post details in the next week or so. I think you could do a small catch can with braided hose and those ends for under £30, which I don't think is too bad and should look nicer than some plain back rubber.

No, there is nothing to stop you using the dummy braided lines and fittings. They will be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMacDaddy Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 (edited) Got mine fitted this weekend: I used ASH wire reinforced silicone hoses in the end and the same red finishers from eBay, plus I couldn't resist spraying the tops to match the rest of the bay. http://www.autosilic...15-colours.html Took her on a long run at the weekend and checked the cans this morning. The driver's side is completely clear, but the passenger side has picked up loads: Do you guys think this is normal for a NA car or a sign of a problem?
