I have ordered a alloy lower radiator pipe kit from Caz because I found the reason for a coolant smell that has been evading me since my under plenum coolant hose bypass. It turned out to be a tiny pin prick on the lower hose half way between the hard pipe and the bend at the bottom of the radiator. It only revealed itself when boosting this afternoon in the heat. Anyway, my question .... is there a temporary, like cutting and joining the hose, or wrapping the hose which will get me going until the new hose kit arrives? Perhaps someone local has a spare lying around I can borrow for a week?
go to an exhaust shop ask for an off-cut of pipe of the correct diameter/length (Price free). Go to a radiator shop and get them to roll the ends (Price cheap). 2 x hose clamps (Priceless) I did this when I got my twin pass radiator
Thanks Greg. I was wondering how to roll a section of pipe. The old roll the exhaust pipe at the radiator shop trick hey?? Smart thiniking .
I'd love to take all the credit, but I went to Red devil radiators, they told me to get the off-cut and bring it back to them so they could roll the ends for me [TIS]
I went to the Red Devil at Archerfield and they made me one for free No pipe required, they had it in stock.
