Hi Ed, Paul, et al.,

Anyone using silicone hoses on M.G.s?  The Ferrari community switched
over to silicone a number of years back.  As for belts; A good Gates
belt, not over tightened, and free from oil (Yea, right!) should last
a very long time.  Then again, 'long time' is relative.  Ferrari
recommends belt changes - especially the timing belts - every 3-4
years or 30,000 miles.  Speaking (writing?) as one who BROKE a cam
belt on a Ferrari V8 engine, the costs of Ferrari engine repairs are
insane!  The fan belt on my TR3 is at least 15 years old.  Hoses are
new.  My M.G.TD will get the generic hoses and belts.  They're already
in the new parts box waiting.
