As the Easter period is getting closer I am in the midst of starting the old girl up, as nearly all the engine stuff is done, the radiator hoses are long in the tooth, so I am looking for new ones to replace, so can any one tell me where I am able to get new ones from as not many people have heard of an OKA in my area! Thanks Peter

I'm after a spare set to carry but have yet to start looking for them. I would have thought that Oka or Paul Nott would be the only sources for the Oka specific ones.

guys, we are making new fixed piping from radiator to engine and trying to use off the shelve hoses. If this works should make it easier to find in the out back as well as carry spares.

I bought spares from Oka a couple of years ago. I have a vague memory of Alan there telling me I could just use readily-available bits from Repco etc - might not have been for all, not sure - but it's not sheep stations so I just bought them all from the factory. No doubt (as Peter 374 says) Paul Nott would have them too. I've never personally replaced them so never had a good look at what's required - just bought the bits and shoved them in a bag somewhere.

If you just want emergency spares, you could just buy the longer one and cut it shorter for the other hose if required
