I'm about to start re assembling my bike but I can't find any of the above. It's an open series D. Any suggestions for suitable substitutions and where to get them.

I'm led to believe The VOC Spares Company Limited has started to receive a limited supply.

At the risk of being pedantic , the correct term for this hose is braid impressed. This is due to the manufacturing process in which a steel braided sheath is pulled down on the outside during vulcanisation then removed leaving it's impression on the hose cover.

To the best of my knowledge , and I did spend 10 years in the industrial hose industry , there is only one manufacturer of braid impressed hose in the world and they are in the UK. As far as I know it was never catalogued as it was an OEM product for the automotive industry. The reason I searched it out years ago was because Triumph (Meriden) used it on 50's & 60's machines and I was restoring a Bonny at the time.

The guy who sells the hose at York (actually Rufforth) and Newark, is Steve from Autohose. I don't think he has a web site but his phones are :

01782 542486

Mobile 07931 728956

Address:
AUTOHOSE, 9,Bagnall Road, Milton, Stoke -on Trent, Staffs, ST2 7AY

He is a great guy and will usually send you the goods with an invoice and you pay him on receipt.
