please leave here..

I'm in desperate need of something 38mm in dia and flexible to use as radiator hoses.. it needs to bend tightly and not kink...

non std location, higher / lower than normal..

SFS have let me down big time.. emails to samco, mendahose.. people visiting halfrauds for me..

Hopefully have some copper tube coming but cant cut or weld that..

David

 

internal diameter, in case people were clueless like me

 

For the copper find a plumber- they can cut and braze it for you no probs.

As far as flex hose is concerned, i can speak to our hydraulics supplier 1st thing if you're stuck, or maybe see if you have a local pertek or similar?

let me know if I can help matey,

Anyone who finds a good source please post on here or tell me.

I have an engine install in my off-roader that requires a very sharp kink in the radiator hose to clear the steering arms and oil pump take off without catching the alternator belt

Currently I'm using flexi-hose, but it doesn't like being bent at sharp angles

 

Demon tweeks do a full range of Samcos in that size and others... Don't know if that helps... - (includes a 135 degree elbow..)

I have some wire reinforced PVC hose that will get you out of jail if you are not running 100ºC water temps.

will phone...

looks like ive sorted it..

Thanks all..

Refuse to use pirtek as they are ****.. and lost loads of my parts..

if you want a hydraulics company.. speak to www.mendahose.co.uk (used them last year )

Now on this...

 

Looking good. You like your last minute scares don't you

 

Looks like something out of madmax

I use the same flexi-hose as Chiark's pic, but the 90 degree bend is alot tighter than that and it kinks restricting the flow

It doesn't overheat at the moment, but it does make me paranoid, I think I'll be taking a trip down the to the plumber merchants and solder up some mad pipework

 

Paul, this isn't last minute yet. It's positively early in the whole cycle

 

My mistake

 

chiark i see the garage is getting smaller on davids car of is the car getting bigger?

david you have checked to see the car WILL go through the doors havent you?

 

Yeah.. it will do

Car gets no bigger, garage gets smaller due to more tools and bits though
