Andy, I marked up some hoses in red and blue in the pic`s in my earlier post. The blue hose which supramacist was referring to (“Lower block hose back behind those pesky starter bolts”) on early Supras was capped off with a rubber end cap, on later Supras this was redesigned so the pipe terminated with a metal end cap. The hoses marked in red are the 90? elbow hoses I was referred to in my earlier post.

Does he have the metal coolant lines that run the length of the block?

Andy C · 04-27-2008, 04:51 PM

thanks bill emailed them today,
supramacist i think i do have the metal ones that run the length of the block cheers all. you all being a great help just waiting for the cam seals to be replaced and the o ring fitted in the cps then i should be able to start rebuilding her.

supramacist · 04-27-2008, 06:07 PM

Ya...., I just blew the coolant line coming from the water pump to the t-stat housing. Yeeehaw.

Luckily I have just replaced a different coolant line and I may be able to scavange a bit here without ordering a new line.

None the less I'll call monday and get a price and an eta if I order it.

A quid is slang for one ?1 GBP
?170 GBP (Great Britain Pounds) = $338.56 at today’s exchange rate. Yes you need to be a really dedicated owner of a Supra in the UK. Andy check any import duty, they may even send them as a present,which will be exempt from duty. Either way I would go to the US for them. While your at it, get me some ADR alloy wheels, ADR `s are not obtainable in the UK.

Yes. He should be able to buy them around 225$ and have them shipped for alot less than 100 bucks.

I'd order outside my country. Can't be any worse than dealing with canadians
