Thanks

you can but you will need to reduce the pipe down when it gets to the can. Not sure how this would affect the flow though

I'm sure you could sort out 3 people to do a GB  :wink: (speak to Topher and Rhyso  :wink:)

i will do that. BaV already spoke to saikoumitchi or however you spell it about getting one for us for £75. but i was hoping to find on cheaper lol (no luck ATM)

and also, did you say that piping was Bilge something or other?  :grin:

the bigger ports the better to be honest, it'll breath easier then
plus, with the OE pipework tending to be 19mm / 3/4" just makes it easier, less connections, looks tidier :smiley:

i'm not too sure Steve. Wazzer used some other pipe with his saikoumitchi one which was pretty cheap for what it is (i think)

And pat. Cheers mate, i read that one earlier which convinced me even more to need a tank lol.

No I bought my pipe separately from Hosequip - it's oil resistant stuff and so far seems good :smiley:

Maybe if we could get a few more of us,we could get that price down a little further?


I'd be interested.

The only problem you've got is customs. When I ordered mine he only wanted to send 3 at a time so not to attract attention to them, otherwise any saving will probably be cancelled out with their charges.

If you got a load of definites together and asked for them to be sent in 3s he might give you all a bit more discount... It's worth asking anyways  :wink:
