Area Representative Paul Richards Posted January 5, 2012 Area Representative Share Posted January 5, 2012 Matt I simply used 2 straight elbows for my heater. There is enough flex in them to cope. I obtained mine from SFS Performance (01582 488040). They are 90 degree elbows with 16mm bore, and legs of 102mm. and are 3 ply material. Mine cost £7.10 each plus vat and plus P&P in March 2006. I'm sure they are a standard size that most hose suppliers will stock. I found I had to trim one of the legs on one elbow by about 1 inch. Before you order, I suggest you check that 16mm diameter is OK as I understand some of the hoses on early heaters narrowed to fit on smaller diameter pipe on the heater. Ring me if you need more info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LesG Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 for SFS Performance. During my engine conversion, I replaced all my hoses for 'classic' black silicon, were cheaper than the sets you see advertised on t'bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomB Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 What discount do we get? SFS kits look remarkable value considering the tradiational high costs of silicone hoses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
