Looks cheap but might be worth it.

I've had a close look at their ad and they look ok to me. They want £16.75 shipping to AUS, which make a total of $127.57.
I'm taking one for the team lol.

My Question to dphsport:

Hi, are these hoses solid silicon or silcon coated rubber ? Thanks.

Answer:

HI there, these are manufactured using reinforced silicone all the way through, we don't use any standard rubber products. Let me know if you need more info.

Thanks
Gareth

Regards Philip A

I bought this kit in black, it was delivered today and is silicon all the way through. $124 AUD including shipping. Was shipped from China Monday and received Wednesday morning, metro Melbourne. The only trouble had was they were not sure if I had paid and asked me if I had. I e-mailed them a reply with at proof of bank transfer and asked them to confirm they would be shipped Monday, e-mail send Sunday and received reply Sunday to confirm the would be sent Monday. Everyone is entitled to make a mistake from time to time, it is how you deal with it that counts.

Have not fitted hoses yet, plan to do it tomorrow night. If you would like to know how I go let me know and i'd be happy to post again.
