Re: SAMCO Update
ok... So i got the reservoir one and the top radiator hose in.
Notes, i used a 3/4" to 1 3/4" worm drive clamp to secure the upper radiator hose. the OEM one was really too small.
and the hose we have to cut is the overflow reservoir hose, by about 2". Put it in place, feed the hose through the reservoir supports and then cut it. DON'T CUT TOO MUCH!

i then fitted the other two (block hose and lower radiator) in place. i actually have an Earl's Prolite 350 hose in place for the block hose. Will probably keep it.

cheers, ted

Re: SAMCO Update
Now that everyone is FINALLY getting their hoses, I would just like to thank everyone for their patience!
I know it was a long road, made complicated by vendor speed & lack of communication speed, a death in my family and, of course overseas shipping and customs!
Again, I just want to thnak everyone for not taking it out on me, and not once calling me "Ducatiguy" {sniff - tear in my eye}.. thanks guys!
Cheers, ted

Re: SAMCO Update
The kits do not come with clamps. It is possbile to use the original clamps, but they are a PITA.
You can use regular worm-drive clamps, avail from Home Dept.
You can also order in annodized connectors from various vendors. Stillen carries a full Pi-Thon kit for the G35.

Re: SAMCO Update
Well hopefully if you guys got them on the 6-7th.. and are in Cali.. that means UPS Ground went out maybe the 4th or 5th?
Sitting near DC without hoses still.. UPS Ground is usually 5 biz days from Cali I think. Watching Ground tracking is so depressing
Hopefully this week I'll have some hoses!

Re: SAMCO Update
Hey Ted where have you seen the anodized connectors other than $tillen?
I also saw a Z with the kit that used color matched zip ties and it looked pretty sweet.

Re: SAMCO Update
Dam those are nice. I think I'll be doing zip ties until I can get the $200 for the kit.
