Hydrolastic pipe...

Post by tedmcedd »

Ok... My 1300 has split a Hydro pipe.... the solid one... not the flexi from the unit... my question is:

Does anyone know of somewhere where i can get one made, or does anyone have some 1/2" pipe i can make a part to add in... im getting rather tired of slogging through plummers mechants and only being able to buy 10m for a million pounds... :roll:

any help would be great!

I didn't know the 1300 hydro pipe was bigger than a mini hydro pipe..
If it turns out to be the same size as a Mini pipe I've got some spare offcuts here if your'e desperate.

Gray, that's a useful looking site. 8-)

hi had this problem when i was a young lad with no much money :geek: my old mechanic tutor told me to cut out the corroded part and join it with a cutting of flexy of a displacer unit and put 2 terry jubilee clips at either end of the joints worked perfectly and lasted as long as i had the vehicle :D :idea: :idea:
