Autobahn 88 hose woes
Just trying to fit the radiator kit (top and bottom hose and various header tank hoses) at the mo. Found the turbo to coolant tank hose to be at least an inch too long and the top hose is about 2 inches too long and barely fits over its boss. Various others are not quite the right shape . Whats anyone elses experience with them? Stick with samco I say!

ahh what i forgot... the upper and lower one are lil bit to short of the diameter... on the upper one its "easy" to get it on the Outlet Pipe... but the lower one was a 30 min fight to get it on the pipe.... but now they would fit forever without an clamp so straight they fit ... hahaha

I found lots of washing up liquid handy in the end, once lubed up they went on much better. The problem I have now is I've got 2 hoses left and can't seem to work out where they go! The only thing they bare any resemblence to are the hoses which I think go from the inlet pipe to the iscv! A bit strange as I thought it was a water hose kit?

So does anyone have any ideas where the other 2 hoses might go? One is straight and about 4 inches long and 30mm dia and the other is a bit of an 's' shape and about 30mm dia?
