New Item Project. 5/8" and 3/4" Billet heater hose separators/clamps

[TrunkMonkey]

I am talking with a manufacture to make 5/8" and 3/4" billet aluminum separators in Red, Blue and Black type II anodize as well as raw.

One hole 5/8" for the supply hose, and 3/4" hold for the return hose.

The cost per piece is about $5.00. (this is wholesale price/group buy deal @40% off their retail and no markup).

The poll has choice of 1, 2, or 3 and colors.

I'll leave it open to allow multiple selections in case 4 or more are desired or multiple cars.

I will ask if they will set up a SKU and to allow people to order directly, so I do not have to handle funds, or deal with trying to manage shipping and collecting.

FWIW, I searched all over and only found one source for these in 5/8" and 3/4" and they are only available in polished aluminum.

And since the 5/8" and 3/4" heater core was used in multiple makes and models, if anyone thinks other folks with other brands would be interested, let me know if you are on those boards and would like to help spread the word.

Once I get a good idea of desire/quantity, colors, and feedback, I'll post a follow-up.

Thanks!

Dear Michael and mid-60s Buick owners who want things "just right!"

This is an interesting project.  I don't know if this is something that could be used with a Vintage Air setup, but I'll take a look later today to see.  Thank you for taking on the fabrication of these pieces!

Cheers, Edouard

Dear Michael and mid-60s Buick owners who like their engine bay well organized,

I am talking with a manufacture to make 5/8" and 3/4" billet aluminum separators in Red, Blue and Black type II anodize as well as raw.
. . . .

I finally had a chance to see how the heater hoses are routed in my trusty wagon and alas the hoses never run together in the engine bay itself.  They are routed between the inner and outer fender so that most of the time they aren't in the engine bay at all.  Here is the hose at the back of the engine:



In the middle is the solenoid that controls the flow of coolant.  It goes to the modified heater housing which was used to route the coolant and refrigerant hoses to the Vintage Air evaporator and heater core assembly which occupies space between the firewall and the dash on the passenger side.  The hose at the front of the engine can barely be seen in this photo just below the alternator on the left:



The hose passes under the compressor and alternator bracket before passing between the battery and the inner fender to be hidden once more.

So unfortunately, I can only lend moral support to this most interesting and aesthetically pleasing project.

Cheers, Edouard
