Frequently Asked Questions
Will these hoses fit all BN1 and BN2 models?
Yes. These hoses were developed using original factory samples to ensure they match the OE layout for both BN1 and BN2 Austin Healey 100 models.
Are the hoses compatible with modern coolants?
They’re compatible with traditional green IAT coolant and 2-EHA-free long-life HOAT types. Avoid coolants that contain 2-EHA (e.g. Dex-Cool).
Are these hoses visually correct for a period engine bay?
Yes. Each hose is cloth-wrapped to closely replicate the appearance of the original factory hoses while benefiting from modern silicone durability.
Where are the hoses made?
Both hoses are made in the UK as part of our CapeSport range, ensuring consistent quality and supply.
