It is true that we are no longer supplying Samco hose products.
They have not been able to consistantly maintain the supply of product to us and we have chosen to source the product from another manufacturer that will not incur 8-12 week lead times.
We have just released our own version of the Induction Hose for AWP, AWW, and AWD engine codes, and the other hoses should soon follow.
I cannot yet provide an exact lead time, but a month shouldn't be too far off that mark.
I hate to burst your bubble, but these hoses will not be available for a few weeks.
It takes time to do the necessary CAD-cam drawings, tooling development, prototyping, and test-fitment. If changes need to be made, more time is required.
Once fitment is confirmed, then production will commence.
It's not as simple as you might think.

Gee, I was only kidding. It seems that there is a lack of interest in the APH engine, so the more parts the better. Take your time. I'd like the part to be designed well.
Heck, I was the guy that asked you about APH hoses at Waterfest. I bought a black billet antenna from you. All this over a couple of emoticons
It's not about a lack of interest in the APH engine, nor a relaxed attitude towrds producing the parts.
My only point was that these are not the types of parts that can be made quickly. They are quite expensive and time consuming to make.
We are working on it, however.
It's coming along!
I think I will have a prototype for test fitment within the next couple weeks.
Same thing for the TT225 hoses.
It's been slow going starting from scratch on these, but it's gradually getting better.
I'll try to keep you updated as much as possible.

By the way, all colors, blue, black, and red, will be readily available once fitment is confirmed and production commences.

That's good news, Mike http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif I'll be on the list for one as soon as you give the high sign http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif
