So you think the hoses work for the Federal Elan?

Earlier posts gave me that impression- my understanding is that the only potential difference between the Fed and the UK would be the angle coming out of (or into- I'd have to reread the posts) the radiator. That is only one out of the lot of hoses (and IIRC Dave said that there is a metal extension on the Fed spec radiator- so it may be correct as is?)- so I decided that I would take the chance vs. potentially be shut out.

If there is one thing that I have learned- people in this forum are thorough and deals go quick. I am learning to purchase first and ask questions later! :lol:

Of course- any purchase is purely the decision of the purchaser and due diligence, etc. etc. goes w/o saying...

I don`t think so, got bloody heart burn at the mo LOL :roll:

Here`s a pic. they do look superb, i`ll try and get them fitted during the week (depending on weather)

Seems we are nearly there

Only thing is Monty got disturbed by his missus half way through and ended up using his other hose!

:bananasex:

Tomorrow maybe

by **Monty** » Wed 04.01.2006, 00:36

I`ll concentrate on the other hose tomo`s :roll:

by **Monty** » Wed 04.01.2006, 19:37

ok managed to get the hoses on today :-D

with no help from Dico :evil:

(who`s project is this :roll:

) all the hoses seem to fit and no leaks of yet, but still got to bleed the system and check again for leaks.

The origanal hoses going to the bulkhead/heater had trouble removing so had to cut a slit where it joins the metal pipe and peal it off. The little pipes are also a pig to remove as these have those daft spring type clips on :twisted:

Here`s a couple more pic`s

by **Paul.P** » Wed 04.01.2006, 19:46

Looks good Monty, presume them ones are going onto Paul's car ?, so when can we look forward to doing the same ?

by **Monty** » Wed 04.01.2006, 19:58

Just realised today after printing of a section from the manual that there was also another pipe which was done in one piece :roll:

so maybe u S2 owners my have to get a metal connector pipe as pictured below.

Oh BTW Pinky II connector pipe was a copper one :shock:

(bodged job, but worked) but had the correct one of Pinky 1 :-D
