I was always told they were nylon Rob. Today one will just have to use what one can get. (preferably fuel resistant)

John the SNG hose you have linked to is the hose that comes from the metal drain pipe for the Scuttle on the bulkhead and allows the water to run down the side of the gearbox. We have mentioned this is a previous topic as we discussed where the line of the hose run should be.

Interesting David and not disputing that fact as I know your car is all original but the tubes on mine which I assume are original as they came with the car are or were clear plastic tubes. (Discoloured now with age). I can think of no reason why the one previous owner of my car would change them as they do not wear out. Is there a possibility that in later cars, mines as you know is Sept 1967 built, that they changed to clear hoses? Maybe one of the money saving ideas they came up with to reduce costs as rubber was perhaps more expensive than plastic hose.
This was typical of the nylon hosing used on SA cars. (aged) ~ Yes I know this pic is in fuel application.

Interestingly I'm sure I've seen a Jaguar technical bulletin covering a number of models including Mk2 regarding fuel smell in the cabin.

Advice was to ensure that the plenum chamber & inlet manifold (steel) drain tubes were in place & in the case of the Mk2 to solder the fuel cap breather hole closed & fit a nipple & stub pipe to the fuel filler neck & fit a tube that vented under the car.

In case of the S Type our fuel caps are sealed (unvented) & a proper tank breather system fitted.

I still have the original hoses on mine but they are a bit dirty and crusty. Not as pliable I would thing as they would have been new. The hoses are only clear plastic tubes so as long as you have the nipples on the bottom of the plenum intake you can buy plastic hose of the right diametre and fit them. For length they hang down to about the level of the top of the sump and there is one clip which secures them to the side of the block. As they are the plenum drains and fuel is most likely being drained through them best to get fuel resistant hose.
