Silicone Hose Sizes?

I measured some of the hoses I was going to replace and there was some 8mm and 12mm ID. Where can I get this size in blue (not light or dark) or red by the foot? I have the Spectre brand blue kit from Autozone but it only has 4, 6, and 10mm.

I looked there (hosetechniques), but thats more than I want to spend on hose and they don't have the color I like. Is there whole kit silicone though?

Yes, it's silicone. The kit comes with alot of extra hose. When I did the new motor in my 91 coupe I just used a universal kit. It was pretty inexpensive. It was really a good buy. When I wanted to re-do the hoses in my convertible I just ordered a little of each size. Now I have ALOT of extra hose.

I just checked out their site. I used the universal starter kit. It was $58 shipped.

The universal kit has enough for all the hoses including the BAC and ACV 12mm? Also, I see they use it on the coolant overflow hose, I though silicone hose degraded from that and wasn't to be used with any fluid.

I used the universal kit on a stock 91 NA motor, and it was enough. I didn't use it for the overflow hose. I just kept the stock rubber hose.

The car specific kit is a little more money, but it will leave you with a good amount of extra hose. That comes in VERY handy.
