samco on a pinto
Has anyone put samco hoses on a pinto?
I was wondering if the inline reducer is long enough to fir directly to the waterpump?
Wanted to check before i order!
Thanks

i seem to recall i used a 90deg reducing bend from my waterpump and it works great. The bend just clears the alternator belt.

You my man are a star! Was wondering if that would work. Was not sure about clearance.
Did you then go for a straight section or the flex stuff?
It is almost straight but i don't know what you can get away with
Thanks

Mine is a 90deg bend with built in reducer. It exits straight down and then bends thro 90deg to the front of the car (aiming for rad). There is just
enuogh clearance. Ive actually tied it back a touch to give a bit more belt clearance. IIRC it then connects to a bit of ali pipe and connects to
bottom of Micra rad but dont quote me on that (was a while ago when i piped it up). Mac#1 designed it up for me and supplied the bits i needed (no
header tank system).

i will also have to be a bit carefull i think as i don't have a standard alternator. Will have a look at clearances tonight.
Any idea how far i have until it bends?
