Posted: Tuesday, 25 March 2025 @ 13:27

Why Upgrade to Kevlar?

Reduce your repairs and keep your fluids flowing for longer!

When you're powering a classic like an Austin Healey, every part matters—especially when it comes to the lifelines of your cooling system. That's why we're not just throwing any old hoses under the bonnet. We're talking about Kevlar reinforced hoses—tough enough to handle anything the road throws your way.

The Benefits of Kevlar Hoses:

  • Durability: These hoses laugh in the face of high temperatures and pressures.
  • Longevity: Fewer frequent replacements? Yes, please. Kevlar doesn’t wear out as quickly as traditional materials.
  • Safety: With higher burst strengths, Kevlar hoses keep you and your Healey safer on the road.
  • Performance: Improved reliability means your Healey performs consistently, just as it should.

Reinforced Bottom Hoses: The Leak Stops Here

A common hiccup for any 6-cylinder Austin Healey owner has been the heater pipe on the bottom hoses—famously prone to annoying leaks. Not anymore! We've tackled this issue head-on by re-engineering our bottom hoses. These aren't just any hoses; they now feature a robust brass fixing that strengthens this notorious weak spot, effectively putting an end to those troublesome leaks.


Couple this with the oil and fuel-resistant properties of the Kevlar-reinforced rubber, and you've got a bottom hose that’s not only leak-resistant but also built to outlast its predecessors by a mile. It’s a smart fix to a longstanding problem, giving your Healey the reliability it deserves, without the usual fuss.

Conclusion: Smart Upgrades for Smart Owners

Upgrading to Kevlar hoses is a no-brainer for any Healey owner who values performance and peace of mind. It’s not just an improvement; it’s an investment in your vehicle’s future. Ready to give your Healey the edge? We thought so.
