    Everyone just hold out a bit longer... Things are looking positive. Also, I forgot to mention that the manufacturer is across the pond. So if anyone has an issue with that they can feel free to duck out now. I know most won't care, but someone might. If it's any consolation these guys are the same guys who make some high end name brand stuff for the really hi performance aftermarket applications who pay a pretty penny for it. The reason that things are taking me so long as I have channels to go through to make sure all the information is correct. This is also the first time I have done anything like this. Pending the next bits of information I receive I plan to put up the official GB thread here soon as well. I will link to it within the thread as well as the OP.

    UPDATE!

    These are the colors available. I also do not need to order in blocks of colors. So if one person wants just one of the colors no issue :) I also am planning on including T Clamps with each order. This will replace the current clamps that you have. T Clamps don't have the perforations against the hose which tears it up.

    I haven't confirmed it with the supplier yet, but the general rule of thumb for me is around 4.5mm. I'm likely not getting grilled for information because a) many people might just be tire kickers, b) they might not be knowledgeable on the subject, and/or c) I've been around here for quite a while and am a fairly active member. People are trusting that I am not going to screw them over, which I certainly do not plan to do.

    it shouldn't.

    you'll have to flush the coolant to install these couplings too.

    Longevity, they never need replacing. However, they are more prone to cuts, so keep sharp shit away from them.

    Rubber gets hard and splits, cracks, bulges and leaks. It's ability to resist cuts is better though.
