Bottom hose.

Hi,

I would like a bottom hose that is 32mm bore, in reality I just want the top bend with the heater take off, any ideas, thanks.

If nothing else shows up, you can get 'bolt in' adaptors, that you can fit in to a manufactured bend. You put a timber in the hose, punch the hole, the neater, the better, then fit the adaptor. Depending how they are made, some slip on from the inside, with a plate, and another plate and nut go on the outside.

There is at least one supply of the bottom hoses who does them this way.

Thanks Spider, I will look into that, looking at some other options too, I will let you know what happens.

Cheers Pete.

I also just now recall Mackay's have an on line listing. Might need a bit or trawling, you might find what you're after

while they don't list here, specific vehicles these hoses fit, only their own Part Numbers, it would be possible to track down what cars they are used on from that.

Hello Chris,

Thanks, thats an interesting site, not seen that one before.

I sat and looked at what I was trying to do, gave it some real thought before going half cocked. I have an ally tube between the first and second 90 deg hose, with just enough space to weld an outlet to, so thats what I did. I machined up an ally outlet and welded it to the tube. Actually its not welding, ally brazing would be a more accurate term, I use HTS 2000 , brilliant stuff, when I can sort the photos I will post them.

Thanks again for your help.

Pete
