[QUOTE="tatty500, post: 58824, member: 2532"] Ron, I still can't understand why everyone seems to want herringbone hose. None of the original hoses on my B are herringbone. The outer layer just looks lie rubberised coarse canvas. The only works pictures with enough resolution to show this are those of the twin engine on the dyno and the Vindian.....but this only covers the years 1947 to about 1950, and not all the hoses. As you suggest the new herringbone A65 is a problem at the A44 connection. The ferrules compress only the herringbone ridges which soon relax. The grip on A44 becomes minimal and can be accidentally pulled off when, say, polishing. (This of course doesn't worry me). No doubt the works had to change hose supply through the years and I would be interested to hear when herringbone actually arrived. Martin [/QUOTE]
