I believe still one is much better off to buy a good quality radiator hose
made for a modern mass-production car like VW, or a good aftermarket hose
produced by a specialist like Gates, rather than any aftermarket hose made
in small numbers in Bonga. If made from SBR, which is quite likely, these
will last a few years at most. Bristol will also not be able to source good
quality hoses a few at at time, unless of course they have family working at
Avon.
In my humble opinion.
