Custom Hoses

Has anyone had custom hoses made ?

I need a 32mm to 1" 90 degree bend, with a 15mm T off made, and was looking at these posts

http://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/diy-custom-silicone-couplers.172233/

http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?4912734-How-to-make-silicone-hoses-couplers-etc

Not sure if anyone has tried it.

The "Pro's" do it this way

Used these for mine.

Virtually next day service and the specials were made up for the same price as the standard ones. 6 years on still perfect. Their hose clips are also great value and work perfectly.

coolant hose

Hi Just looking at your very tidy engine bay, very interested in the chrome coolant pipe where did you get it or who made it.
Hope you don't mind me asking what cost?
Thanks Mike

Can you not just buy a 90 deg reducing silicone hose and just fit a screw in 15mm union with a smearing of Dirko Seal just to make sure it's properly sealed.

Thanks for the compliment but remember that the photo was taken after a winters rebuild, not normally that clean.

The pipe is polished ally and I bought it from a chap called James Whiting. Think Dunnell did a similar one. Allyfab would undoubtedly make one for you.
