Radiator Hoses and Mushrooms

Post by Miz »

I have found a local hose manufacturer and am working with him to make a former and then he will be able to make a lower rad hose that will avoid the mushroom without stressing the rad mounts, will keep you posted of my progress, once sorted he will be able to make silicone hoses in various colours.

Sounds good. Would be interested to see how this works out and how much it would work out costing. Any idea on how long away it might be?

On mine I moved the radiator forwards at the bottom using a bracket from the engine to the rad mount.
The hoses are now "relaxed" and just clear the mushroom.

Job sorted.

I'll try and add some piccys.

I have been a bit distracted recently with other projects, it is still on my list, so maybe I'll get some time to do it soon. Will post up as soon as I have any info.
