Hmm, been advised that the Aaron Tamora rad I bought doesn't fit unless a lot of fibreglass is grinded away, and apparantly, the ACT silicon hoses are no good.
I have never seen Power's silicon hoses advertised, I just assumed most used the ACT hoses?
I bloody hope this is wrong as I've just bought both and are due to be fitted next week!I have never seen Power's silicon hoses advertised, I just assumed most used the ACT hoses?

I was/am very surprised at the email I got, TBH. I bought what I knew were very popular upgrades for Tams/T350's, as most on here seem to have them!Good job I didn't order the ACT big bore exhaust system, that would have probably been deemed no good....

As for the exhaust I wouldn't do anything til you've had listen to cars at Burghley, also there are many other specialist exhaust companies around the country, it seems that the TVR community rarely look beyond JP and ACT
My first thought would be any warranty implication resulting from telling Dom to fit the ACT hoses. I'd be very clear about having everything in writing. I do find it interesting that Power are offering a "deal" on the engine rebuild, but all of a sudden, at this stage in the game, they are expecting you to buy Power's own parts ahead of ACT...

I know The ACT hoses were a birthday present from my wife, bought last year, I then bought the ACT SS hoses and Aaron rad (and the Power's clutch, flywheel and slave bundle), so I wouldn't have to buy them when I had the 4.3 - that way I knew exactly what I was paying for.
That worked out well....
As you say, it's the warranty that's important when spending this amount of money.

Think I may have to give Dom a shout (and I'm sure Tim at ACT will have something to say on this) as I can't risk fitting them if they are going to void my warranty.Zippee said:

void your warranty due to a pair of silicone hoses ? maybe a porker would have been the better car in those cases does it void the warranty if you use shell v power instead of aral ultimate ?

The kit from ACT is excellent. I'm fairly choosy in the bits I use and the time I bought my kit I know Tim sourced top notch marine grade jubilee clips, which had the inner ring to protect the clamping surface.
Let's make this easier then.
Who on here has the ACT tamora hose kit?
Would they be able to take pictures of said hoses?

Half worried here. Just got the act hoses and a Al rad, but my rad came from tvr parts, now somewhat reasurringly made by radtec... we'll see about that in March...
Im guessing the hoses either fit or kink because not 'formed' right for the particular car, but assuming they wont spontaneously kink themselves at some future date?
I've bought oil hose from tvrp that was too long and didnt fit without kinking, so go figure... these cars are apparently all different, or stuff isnt made right...
