water pipes
Does anyone know what types of metal pipes can be used to join hoses together. I have plenty of galvanised pipe of the correct size. Is it any good ?
Cheers Peter |

Hi Peter,
Not sure if you mean short connections or long tubes to join the rubber hoses. For the long extensions I,ve used "Henry Hoover " tubes, perfect fit, stainless & best of all Cheap ( approx £2.50 per 1mtr tube ), plus they look nice too Got mine off ebay cheers andy

I've found my pipes and plumbed it all in, using the original hoses. But after proudly showing the wife my handiwork I noticed that I haven't got a connection to the bottom of the expansion tank. On the Sierra it goes to the radiator but my clio rad has only 2 connections not three.
Any ideas ? Cheers Peter |

Does anyone know where to buy the Henry Hoover tubing to make the coolant pipes?

Thanks Kev. I should have looked there in the first place. Do you know of an easy and cheap way of beading the ends? Thanks david
