MG MGB and MGB GT Tech Talk
I am working on dressing up the engine compartment in my '77 MGB as well as getting some better strength components. I know that I can get stainless steel oil cooler hoses but do you know if there are stainless steel radiator hoses available.
Thanks!
Not need (<15psig). AFAIK, not available. Unless you want to count the cosmetic covering that's available.
You can get the kevlar reinforced hoses if you just want upgraded strength and not looking for bling.
Considering the fact that he said he is dressing up the engine bay, I don't think strength is his concern.
Todd, you might check out a place like Summit Racing or Jeg's or even JC Whitney. They sell all kinds of dress-up stuff. More then likely all you'll be able to find is braided-looking covers for the hoses you have. There is one company that sells actual braided hoses, but I can't for the life of me remember who it is.
Summit and Jegs both sell a kit to put steel hoses on anything. I use that for my BGTV6.

check out this website, don't know if it fits the MG or not, it looks fantastic on the Pantera.

Moss has some silicone radiator hoses which aren't really bling, but I like the idea.
