PETER:
Just replaced all of my TR6 hoses in March. Definitely wanted the
green, so went ahead and bought from TRF, along with all new wire
clamps. It was worth the $$ - they look really good! (Be prepared,
however, they are not made in the UK or USA, but once I peeled the small
stickers off - hey, they still look great.)
