Hose ends

Hose ends

Women don't understand, but hose ends are damn sexy.

And I'm nearly at the stage on the '55 when I need some - although the car ran/raced once as a '37 that was when it was right-hand-drive and much has changed since then. Oil and water tanks have moved, steering column moved sideways 5 feet, etc, etc.

So, I remembered Speedflow was the place to buy hoses and hose ends back 10 years ago, so I looked them up at http://www.speedflow.co.uk - still there and doing business!

But since I'm near a Summit store (it's 3 miles away, ain't he neat?) I thought I'd compare just for giggles.

Wow, speedflow might have been king back in the day, but a -8 straight end costs $14 there. Summit sells it for $6.95 - with no shipping of course. Ouch, time to drive to Summit I think...
