Samco or LMC? Is there a big difference as the Samco ones are nearly twice the price. Cheers Wang

Used lmc on my cafe racer build and had no issues. Seem to be decent enough hoses to me.
I should add that I've never used samco hoses though, saw the price and bought lmc lol

The LMC (Lord Munster Caravans) Gear Selector drum bearing does not fit either....it is a little too large in the OD department.... It may fit if you freeze it and heat the engine casing, but would be a nightmare to change later, so I just used OEM instead.... I have 2 or 3 of those new if anyone wants to force one in.....

And their stainless headbolts rusted... I was gutted.
What I will say is that their matt hoses look the biz and I have a set, but who knows where they come from. You can buy very cheap silicone hoses on ebay now, I decided to try a set on my next build, they arrived and look and feel the same as the Samco ones, go figure.

I didn't even know they made other parts ? Can only speak of their hoses, which have been fine - I've got matt black on the pv hybrid and normal glossy finish on the Lc and both sets fit and work as you would expect. I wasn't prepared to pay Samco prices when there were good alternatives. Dusty

Ahh maybe were talking at cross purposes, but the same ebay seller with an L in his name sold me my headnuts/bolts (call them what you will) and also my matt hoses...
Ive bought pretty much from every hose supplier over the years and most are the same, or very close. The blue inner layers on some really piss you off if youre looking for an all one colour hose, few sellers will tell you that when you buy. IME the cheap and the expensive seem very very close in quality, how they hold up will be the difference perhaps but look and feel has been much the same from $30 to well over $100.

a few years ago I spent a lot on the Samco hose set. The hose from the bottom of the radiator to the inlet didn't fit . Still got it sitting in my spare parts box.
