Default Samco silicone air inlet & coolant hoses

I found a US importer for Samco silicone coolant hoses & air inlets this morning. We all know these can sometimes be difficult to find so hopefully this will work out for us ZR-1 owners.

Edit: See post #10

Thanks USAZR1 for the info. just ordered a red set of cooling hoses.
previously ordered a red samco intake coupler from England. took 5 weeks and was expensive.

These samco coolant hoses were $235 delivered.

I guess I need to get off my duff and join Facebook.

David Adams AB ZR-1 has the blue coolant hoses on its LT5 but still has the stock accordion. He posted a photo on the other site.

Welcome to the FB presence of the ZR-1. (and other groups). The group was created a few weeks back but I was waiting for a special day to kick start it.
Now that May 25th has arrived, I'll be kicking it into high gear over there with special photo essays on rebuilding may systems on the car including the ZF6 !!
It's going to be a different culture over there.

Scott,

I have them on my motor. Originally was going to switch to red but frankly ended up liking the complement to the red cam covers.

Both the above LT5's look great. If Hinson Motorsports can make it happen,I'm going with a full set of Samco hoses & air duct,in Blue.

Ordered the air intake and rad hoses today from Hinson. They were super friendly and easy to work with. I went with the blue for contrast. Putting on blue stainless break lines as well.

Craig,

Glad to hear it,Craig. I'm going to be ordering an induction inlet hose in a couple of weeks from them.
