What hoses do I need to use for connecting these 2 items together? They seem to be of differing sizes, are there hoses out there that will fit?

using the same combination myself . I ended up scouring halfords / other motor factor dealers and my scrap bin to find flexible hoses that could be connected together - sometimes with the aid of pieces of metal tubing to avoid crush with the jubilee clips. Also I ended up using a piece off----what the hell was it ???-------- but it had a tee piece to run to a header tank.

I know this is all non specific but it works and just took a bit of playing about. I'll post some pics at the weekend

Hope it helps , Phil

Hi Guys,

So how did you mount your Micra rad? More importantly, what clearance was there between the rad and the inside of the nosecone?

AFAICS the Micra rad-mounted expansion bottle will have to be ditched; no space available. Also the uppermost attachment brkt (on the rad) has to be cut off.
Has anyone got pics of a successful installation?
