Default Radiator Top Hose

Could anyone kindly recommend where I could purchase just a top hose for my 53 plate wrx. I've been looking at the Samco ones but looks like I can only purchase as a set comprising of both bottom and top hoses. Money is a little tight at the moment otherwise I'd purchase the set, I've seen cheaper silicone hose sets on ebay but not sure on quality!

If anyone can point me in the right direction I'd be extremely grateful.

Thanks

Richard

Samco are excellent quality. Had forge ones to start with on mine, quality was good but design of top hose was not great. It sat really close to the alternator pulley. The hose slipped a few mm and began to get scored by the pulley, luckily caught it in time!

Replaced with samco as that was available easy and quick and the time and saw how much better their design was, sits much further away.

PS have still got the forge bottom hose if anyone is looking for one.

Let me have a look at work Fella, I think I still have the original top hose off my car as I changed mine to white silicone hoses. If I've still got it you can have it if your willing to pay the postage mate

Sorry Rob84 just going through old posts and noticed I'd missed your reply. Thanks for the offer I ended up sourcing a new hose. Cheers

Subaru dealership.
Putting on a second hand hose is a waste of time and money.
