That looks like it, but where are the Part Numbers?
EDIT: OK I see them now. It seems it doesn't cover the 1.8Turbo. TC Last edited by T-Cut; 19th October 2019 at 20:31.. |

I can tell by the posts on this thread that nobody has ever used a flexible hose.----
The water pipes don't have to be EXPENSIVE special moulded items. They are that way for quick assembly during the cars manufacture to save time and money. They don't work any better than a flexible hose.---- Of course with all you well heeled Rover owners I guess money is no object.------------------------------- |

I have a length of the steel-coiled flexible hose on the shelf which I ibought to use for the PRT downpipe and maybe for the upper head to T-piece elbow. I decided against it after experimenting with it. It will provide a good one plane bend, but anything like an s-bend or a two plane bend (like the upper hose) won't work. Like the off the shelf silicone hose, it's fine for taking the path of least resistance, but it does get messy. I do have a home made silicone connection from the head, which forces the T-piece to be rotated. This forces the downpipe to rotate as well, so the routing becomes different and the rear support bracket doesn't receive the downpipe. I removed that so the downpipe has to be supported at the bottom with a home made bracket attached to the subframe. The knock-on effects simply get compounded as you add more non-standard hose.

However, if the moulded pipe becomes truly impossible to find and folk say I MIGHT HAVE TO SCRAP THE CAR---- -A bit of easy adaption to a flexible pipe is the answer.
It seems easy to me, maybe, I guess, because I spent around 15 years as a design draughtsman in a mechanical design office. A bit of lateral thinking sometimes works wonders.--- |

I spent 35 years innovating, so I do think as laterally, believe me.
