Worth trying SFS hoses ? same quality as Samco but can be cheaper.
Also says on there website that they can do custom kits if group buys are organised/

Just Emailed them both now
hopefully we shud get a reply
heres a copy of my email i sent them
Hi
I am emailing you on behalf of the volkswagen Golf MK1 Owners Club.
A few members (including me) on the owners club forum have been discussing the fact that nobody produces silicone coolant hoses for the smaller cc engine (1100cc and 1300cc)
Now the hoses on these are both the same.
We know that lots of companys produce Hose kits for the Mk1 GTI but we have had no sucsess on finding hoses for the 1100cc and 1300cc.
The hoses are even obsolete from Volkswagen dealership.
The hoses are also obsolete at leading parts suppliers such as GSF (German,Swedish& French) and also Euro Car Parts.
Companys such as yourself also only produce only GTI hoses/ hose kits etc.
So basically i am emailing you to ask if you would consider producing sets of the hoses as you would be (as far as we know) the only company to do so. So you would get quite abit of business from the hoses.
As it stands, obviously dependant on price we have 14 people that would purchase a set off of you
This is only the tip off the iceberg on the numbers because once word gets out that you are produciing them then we feel that you would be able to sell them in quite big numbers especially on sites such as ebay etc
i will await your reply for the next step.
Also any information would be great on a rough price of a full kit etc
i really hope you would consider our request and if you have any questions etc please email me at jimmi2123@hotmail.co.uk
Thanks for your time

Got a reply from samco ;
Anyone want to volunteer a full set of stock hoses ?
Hello Jimmy,
Thank you for your email regarding the Golf 1.1 and 1.3 hose kits, I am sure we could manufacture these hose kits as long as the following criteria were met.
We would need confirmed orders through one of our distributors for twelve kits minimum, I would arrange a group buy through one of these distributors who I suspect would give your group some discount off the RRP of the kit.
The most important part is for us to be supplied a full kit of stock hoses, these must be in reasonable condition and not been shortened in any way, whoever supplies this kit would receive a set of Samco?s for free as a thank you.
I am sorry I would not be able to quote until the standard hoses arrived here as I have never seen a hose set off one of these Golf?s, manufacturing the tooling and to produce the first prototype kit would take around six weeks from the time they arrived here.
I hope this answers your questions and look forward speaking with you in the near future, please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any further questions.
Best regards,
Mark Hale.

I'd email this to rich@crazyquiffs as he'd get a much better rate than yourself and also might possibly be interested in stocking these?
Just an idea.

i possibly have a set of hoses that arnt in use but i would need to know exactly what the full set include?
it depends how far we plan to go with then, do we just get the coolent hoses done (two coming to an from the rad (which i have two spare) ) or do we get the whole lot done (as in the ones that come through the bulkhead for the heater an so on) ????

Thanks Crazy and Holly - Great minds think alike - I've been looking at this with a supplier just this week. I've got a set of hoses sorted at this stage.
Hols next two weeks so won't be doing too much until back.
Don't forget I already do the rad hoses for the small blocks - see the website for that.
Also working on getting the thermostat housing remade along with the pipe from the water pump that always corrodes!!
Cheers

Well i am glad we are getting somewhere now
personally i would want everyhose including the ones that go through the bulkhead for the heaters
i am right in reading that you have a full set of hoses crazyquiff? including the heaters? . . . also if you are in process of getting some made up would you keep us informed as my golf is sat with no hoses on it they are all in my house . . .
also crazyquiff i know that you sell the top and bottom hoses for small block engines but if we can get the rest made up as a set i would prefer to purchase them in that way and i would rather my money went to you than samco
I know your closed for 2 weeks but as much info as possible would be nice ..
much appreciated

i recently changed many of my hoses. Got top and bottom from euro car parts, as well as heater matrix hose. For the one going back from the thermostat housing which goes back to a metal pipe,, i got a 19mm diam 135 degree bend stocked silicone hose from SFS performance on the internet (also in black!) - now sorted, hope this helps!
