pipe work
« on: 15 March 2012, 20:38 »
Im thinking about replacing all my pipes under the bonnet with red silicone but can't seem to find any. Can anyone help?

What engine have you got?

I remember seeing a pic of a 115PD or 130PD engine bay, and there was a lovely shiny pipe coming from the back of the engine, down the left hand side and then to the SMIC. It was an uprated pipe (instead of the cack plastic one)! Anyone know what I'm on about? :huh:

Allard or SFS for intercooler pipes. For the vac lines just buy some silicone pipe the right size

get ut your tape measure, remove some pipes and meaaure the diameter of them. write it down and do yourself a diagram of the pipes routes. work out what you need angle wise for bends and ebay it up
