Default Oh Yeah.... it will deffo fit

So if your ever tempted by Car Builder Solutions to get a wiggly hose, the kind that will defiantly fit over a 32mm pipe, take it from me, its the worst fit ever!

Now it clearly will fit, but this is as far as it goes. Save yourself the hassle and bother and get some proper hose elbows.

This was after it was sat on my radiator! I took my calipers to it and it only measures 26mm ID. I would have thought any 32mm hose would be around 30mm ID.

Thats a big stretch Deezee, from my experience the constant heating and cooling will perish the stretched rubber over time and it may crack.

Not worth the risk Deezee......AndyH

I wonder if you were sent the correct one? Sizes seam way out, I'd check with them and if it's correct ask for a refund as it's not even close to the discription on ID size stated in their discription.
