Which water hose?.....

[gmw9666]

Being dim but cant seem to find a replacement hose

Its the large diameter water hose that goes from the front area of the plenum, around the dizzy into the swan neck pipe

Mine is starting to weep a bit and looks on close inspection that its been cut down a bit so now touching slightly the vacuum advance

advice please :-)

I'm certain TVR used an SD1 hose set and cut it up to suit...



This is what I did originally on the SEAC; but I think next time I'll just buy silicon hose of the correct diameter and bend angle and use that; mostly because the SD1 hoses still didn't fit very well! I'd go for black and not many people would notice - that's if they were bothered at all...

Nice work chaps

Think what I'll do is once I've taken the old one off I'll compare with the pics

Be in touch soon zig :-)

Good evening Glen...I checked my pieces of hose against those on the car and it seems that this one may get you out of a spot of bother old chap...What do you think....

My swan neck is not standard but mine looks like a section of silicon from the makers of the blue stuff cut to fit. I also had a special made up by ACT for the rad to engine section, and a standard pack off them for other stuff, they have been very helpful.

Could be close :-)

Once I'm back from hols I'll get mine off and double check

My swan neck is also odd as my rad looks difference and doesn't exit like normal (something I noticed at the fest)
