Silicone Hoses - 2L-T

[Dprio34]

Does anyone know of any vendors that offer silicone hoses for the 2L-T on the LJ70?

I couldn't find anything on google..If anyone knows of any supplier, please let me know.

Thanks.
Don

Why do you want silicone hoses? What's wrong with the Toyota rubber parts that often last 30 years or more?

Well nothing is wrong with Toyo hoses. Just can't source them here in Nevada. If I have to pay international freight, mind as well get silicone if such an animal exists.

Go to NAPA and get Gates Barricade multi fuel-compatible hose. Silicone wouldn't be any better, and perhaps not as good.

Do you have the part numbers for the 2L-T motor?

Beno,
I was on my phone earlier when I read your reply, and didn't see you were a vendor.
What do you charge for upper and lower radiator hoses for the 2L-T?
I would be interested in all hoses actually if you wanted to do a package. The PO has not replaced anything. All in all not in bad shape,
but would like to re-new as they are all 25 plus year old. Regarding Silicone...both inlet and outlets to the block are seriously pitted on my
2L-T. I'm not hear to advocate the benefits of Silicone over Stock, but in my expericence silicone is considerably softer and would in my humble opinion cinch down better on both inlet and outlet flanges. Current hoses are hard and I am getting leakage since the surface is not smooth on either inlet or outlet.

Why didn't you say you were looking for rad hoses in the beginning?
