Anyone know where I can one (v8) without buying a full kit which I don’t need?

Auto silicon hoses. Buy one that suits and cut to length.

Yup, perfect solution. For some reason I had a picture in mind that it was a shaped hose but it’s not and I was “confused”. Actually we had a power cut just as I was working on it so that’s my excuse, it was dark.

If like me you've fitted a rad for a T car, then you will need a 90 deg hose



I'm not going to pretend it wasn't tricky to fit, but the used rad only cost £100, and it's lasted seven years already

If you have a Cerb rad, then it will have a near 90 deg exit, so you just need a straight 35mm hose cut to length, no more than 30cm in length
