I'm ordering a set of ACT Silicon hoses for my Wedge. Problem is they only do a 'set' of the shaped and 'branch' hoses and don't have a listing for any straight ones!
So, before I start grazing my knuckles and soaking the garage floor, does anyone have a listing for the lengths and i.d.s for the remaining hoses for the 350/450 RV8?

I thought the ACT kit supplied all the hoses you need.

Sorry I thought you were looking to buy the ACT kit and source your other bits elsewhere.

I've just read my OP and can see where the problem is. ACT do actually have all the hoses, they jus can't tell me which straight ones I need so I've got to measure length and i.d of all the ones I've got! I'm trying to avoid having to remove any hoses until I've got the complete set so I can pull the car out in just one go!

The ones I know are as follows
water pump are 38mm in and 35mm out.
Radiator is 35mm
Header tank ones are 11mm and 12mm inlet and 17mm the bottom one that goes to the radiator. Im sure it steps down to about 8mm (not 100% on this)
The new Ali Header tank will be the same.


I think that's all the sizes you need.
If it can wait till monday I'll do a bigger list.
if not just slip the hose off a bit and measure the joiner, or port etc.

Give me a call if you need any sizes urgent, and I'll measure a spare part.
