Rad hose "chicanes"
As per title - I want to plumb my rad & need a couple of chicanes - 90 left followed by 90 right, 1" pipe & about 1.5" sideways
jump - where can I go to get some made up????
yeah the rad outlet points straight at my chassis :^)
cheers

Bob,
I used 90 degree samco with some joiners but if you want it out of stainless or ally i guess mk/mac1/allyfab should be able to sort you out.

mine always seems to point at the chassis, whichever car and whichever radiator in question. I still use the original kink from the donor sierra
(possibly a butchered top hose), though sometimes it needs to be very tight with the jubilee clips!

cheers fellas - I should have been more specific - I'm looking for something like the samco 90degree bend - but with 2 bends in opposite
directions.
I recently saw a site of someone who'd do custom hoses - ring any bells?
I could use 2 x 90s but I'd never get the 1.5" kink I'm after!
Cheers
Bob

I assume Samco would do custom pipes but theres always the cost of course. Car Bulder Solutions may be able to help as they supply a similar product.
Otherwise a trip to the scrappy and take a hose cutter.
I just changed my engine to route the radiator pipes!! The Toyota 20V 4AGE has a much better arrangement then the crusty old 16V. The extra 30BHHP was
a bonus

I've made a picture so there's no confusion - imagine this made of rubber with a 1" ID!
Any inspiration out there???
cheers

What about two 22mm solder ring elbows joined together? The OD of the solder ring will be about 1".

Now finished! Xflow-Zetec swap with GSXR TB's and Megasquirt.
