Hi
The plan is to fit the water pump up front, and pipe down one side of the car along the sill under a suitably cut panel, then run the return back to
the front via the other side.
The wp outlet is 34mm.
The blackbird water pump pipes are 30mm from memory.
What piping solutions, prefer flexible jobs, would you suggest that msa would be happy with. I cannot find a pipe around 34mm in braided unless I buy
the braided covers.
If the pipes are in their own compartment , or totally secure from the driver if they burst do they still have to be braided outers?
Thanks
Hi
we use the same water pump on Sabre and a number of RGB cars including some where the rad is up front and pump at rear. All we do is use 34mm reducers
to knock down to reqd size (in our case 25mm) then use alloy pipe to get front back to front. It can be bent on a bender to follow contours or cut
swaged and then joined at appropriate angles using silicon hose bends. Advantages are that its relatively cheap, light and the alloy works like a mini
radiator along its length.
Hope that helps
Andy
I can bend up anything you want (some restrictions length wise) in either 32mm or 25mm aluminium tube with beaded ends, obviously long straight lengths are no problem & again we can bead the ends so they are secure.
