Cooper Hoses Anyone?????

undrh2o

I paid $456 CDN with shipping from Washington state and both taxes (about $70) on that - not really a deal i.e over $500 in my hands. I was a little fast on the trigger with eBay that day. That was before I saw the water safety stuff and once I saw it, I didn't want to calculate the final cost of it in case it was cheaper, if you know what I mean.

I don't speak german either but the 275 EUR is including 19% VAT which I think is european GST and you probably don't have to pay it since they will be shipping outside the EU (can our euro friends tell us for sure?)

Martin at tecme.de also sells complete list of original draeger parts I shot him an email and got quoted 250 EUR for the Ray and 350 EUR for the dolphin loop. He seems like a good guy and he's got tons of recommendation on here he might match the watersaftey price - doesn't hurt to ask.

Also, since I don't have a lathe I also been emailing back and forth with him about making up some adapters that will allow attachment of the ray hoses to the IDA counter lung - he's got some IDA scrubber to p-port adapters on his site - he said he can do it for 15-20 EUR each.

Failing that you could put a post in the "looking for" forum

Get the coopers, have some kind soul make you some adapters, and put the savings toward a BOV...

I believe that that is the cost with the P-port fittings and the DSV. It's quite a bit cheaper for the bare hoses

Thanks guys,

I'm leaning towards getting the set from Germany as it will come with the DSV and hose fittings. I believe Dave Sutton gave specs on having attachments machined so that they can be used on the IDA-71. Undrh2o, I have a friend who owns a machine shop. I could get a price from him if you like. He'll be making a set for me. Then you'd just be dealing within Ontario.

5 sets arrived in my office in the US the very next day - how's that for service.

Here's a quick pic of my pimped kiss (Rich & Matt SS Case, Shearwater GF & HUD and now Cooper Hoses)



Thanks once again Charlie.

Cheers

None of my checks have arrived. Did you all get the correct address?

Ah yes... Would that you could work both sides. Commission from the buyer and the seller. Smacks of Real Estate??? Who do I know that would be involved in such an underhanded activity...

this may be a stupid question but...

did anybody else get an invoice that indicated
* NOT FOR UNDERWATER USE *
?

Is this a CYA liability thing or am I misunderstanding the application of these hoses?
