3148473 is the part number in my yellow M36640 book, how does one tell NOS from one of those above?

The Summit one is made by OER (Original Equipment Reproductions) who state that "these OER evaporator case drain hose replacements are unique reproductions of the originals".

Is the RS one a genuine replacement part under the agreement with GMH?

Both companies are using the GM part number.

Oh well, I live and learn, not into concourse so haven't given that sort of thing much thought.

Would be interested to see some comparison photo's though.

The ones pictured aren't correct for HK/T/G heater boxes but are correct for the HQ-WB factory a/cond evaporator housing.

So then it is false advertising saying its for hktg..... Typical

It would depend on whether it is described as an 'original', a 'reproduction', a 'replacement', an 'improvement', or a 'modification'

Interesting use of that part number then.

In the day it wouldn't have meant much, I guess it wasn't worth their while to open another part number for a local equivalent with minor differences.

Means a lot now though, aye.

Generally GMH have different part numbers if the part is even slightly different , Headlamp rims unpainted , Grilles without mouldings have M part numbers . In this case they are defiantly different it would be interesting to know WHY maybe it was a later improvement I will see if we can get the drawing which may shed some light on the subject.

Hi all.

Firstly thanks to everyone including RARE SPARES for their help and information.

Durwin's offer is most appreciated.

A good mate has found a damaged one for me which I feel could be repaired.

This is what this site is all about.

In the meantime I am still looking for a good used or New genuine bladder. Any help or info would be most appreciated.

Cheers
Nick.

i bought 2 @ monaro natts in warwick sept 2010 & paid heaps coz was told one sold on ebay that same week for over $500. sold em both at busselton natts in oct for $395 ea.

Hi Dave and Git.

Dave, I remember discussing that with you. Four hundred dollar baldders....Amazing.

Git I spent some time with Ben yesterday and we discussed the same thing. Theory we came up with was that the thicker ones might have been used at the beginning and possibly discovered they could do thinner ones saving a cent or two per car. GM-H was well and truly into cost saving.

Cheers
Nick.
