Not sure if 28mm yorkshire is available? I am lucky in that I had an old towel rail radiator made of 1 1/2" (32mm new money) chromed brass, got some lovely lengths from that
Im at the stage of connecting the cooling system up on my zetec engine and wondering if standard copper pipe and fittings would be ok to use, i ask
this because the pipe sizes are 32mm which i was going to use 28mm copper and for the 16mm pipe im going to use 15mm copper.
Will there be sufficient cooling?
I wouldnt have thought it would be a problem, im using copper on mine with no problems
The plumbers merchants is a really help with the cooling system. Get the platted stuff if it's on show and no one will realise.
using a 15mm yorkshire straight connector on the end of a bit of copper makes a very good fit, and the "hump" is ideal for stopping the
hoses slipping off. I even cut the connectors in 2 being very locost!

Search for vacuum cleaner pipe on ebay. It is 32mm and makes great cooling pipe, and only costs a couple of quid.
