Hi All. I have a problem - I can't make sense of how to route a hose to the bottom of the Polo rad. It just seems impossible! Are there any other options for the radiator?

Move the rad behind the suspension and in front of the engine

2 90° bends to get to the middle and in between the shockers??

A top hose from any Proton with a Campro engine like this.


I used these top and bottom. Just need a very slight trim on the length but otherwise perfect.

You could use a silicon 's' bend too but I had access to the Proton ones.
I'll see if I have any build pics and email them to you.

Cheers

hi tim

with the cooling kit for our cars its 2 x 90s and a long alloy / stainless steel pipe pipe with a 90 degree bend on furthest end, also has the inlet for the oil to water cooler, i will take a pic of the lower coolant pipe on my car when it comes out of the trailer this afternoon

cheers

Thanks all - pics would be great!

Hi Tim,

There's pics of this in my blog / web album - we had to take a chunk out of the rad mounting bracket, but we'll stiffen it back up once its done...

What you can't see is the angle of the long alloy joiner, it goes up towards the driver's side of teh car, then uses a 90 degree bend to turn down over the top of the steering rack...

HTH

I used 2 90' bends and short length 32mm copper pipe from plummer's shop
