Hi Guys,

I've got a Pinto Efi with a Micra Radiator, can anyone tell me what pipes I will need to hook these together

TIA

Take a look at Mark Allanson's archive. I think he's got a similar set-up with some photos in there.

I was actually looking for some advice on the pipes that people of used to connect the rad and engine together as I'm sure the diameter of the radiator outlet it smaller than the water pump input

TIA

I am lucky, I work in a bodyshop, and we always have at least 10 total loss cars on site at any one time.

I found that Focus(1.4) rad pipes are 34mm at the ends and 24mm in the middle, so I just chopped them in the middle to make adaptors. It is just a question of mix and match after that with the original sierra pipes Rescued attachment Plumbing1.jpg
