WANTED: Silicone hose bends!!

[Toms306]

Right, I'm looking for a 60mm ID 90degree bend with 200mm legs, and need it asap!

If anyone knows where I can find one (if they even make that size) I would be extremely appreciative and will give virtual rep lol.

Cheers
Tom

Because its where wanted threads go... Just get on ebay, Youre just as capable as any of us to look on there

[Dan!]

Don't you think I've tried already? :roll: they don't sell that size on ebay....they're all made by ASH hoses pretty much so are all only 150mm.

I have a stainless bend matching your description...

[Toms306]

I can't join a stainless bend to two other solid metal ones though, so its gotta be silicone, thanks anyway though.

[Toms306]

f*ck! I've just realised how I can get round this problem of short silicone bends.....buy an ally or stainless one with 150mm legs and use silicone joiners between them.....why the hell didn't I think of that days ago.....I'm such a f*cking cock.

[Toms306]

So, I've just recieved an E-mail from the place I bought the supposedly 200mm legged one from a few days ago....

Dear Mr Toms306

Subject: Silicone hose bend




Hello,

I ordered a 60mm silicone bend with 200mm legs from your site spefically for the leg length as the 150mm ones from ASH on eBay aren't long enough (but are much cheaper!). And unfortunately have been sent one that is identical to the cheaper ebay ones so is NOT long enough for the purpose. My car is currently undrivable without this hose meaning I cannot go to work or college until it is fixed - I was hoping to fix it tonight.

Is this a genuine error with an incorrect part or do you only sell the 150mm leg ones? I would like a swap with the longer legged one if you sell these, or just a refund for this one if you don't.

I need to know whats happening about this as soon as possible please as I need the car,

Thanks,
Toms306

Not sure if I'm supposed to send it back though? Theres no mention of that?? :?

You wanty stainless bendy?

[4WayDiablo]

[Toms306]

Nah it's alright mate, I've ordered some different pipes now for a slightly different setup. So this thread can be closed or whatever now.

Also, you know that pipe isn't really ideal for boost hoses? It needs a bead around the ends to stop the pipes falling off really.

[samass]

isnt this the main cause of all his car related troubles tho? haha

[Midnightclub]

Worth noting it's not a 90 degree bend either, more like 75 degree

[4WayDiablo]

i got it from a universal fmic kit so how can it not be suitable for fmic pipes haha
Yeah it might need a bead around it. So why cant you do that?

Just saying at the moment it's not suitable as they pop off all the time. As you know

Not entirely suitable for a derv pushing 30+ psi
for lower psi it will be fine :-)

[Matt]

Fair enough I know nothing haha

[Toms306]

It won't.....even at just 25psi non beaded ones don't hold. Also I don't have a beading machine lol.....but its ok cos I've sorted it now anyway.

[4WayDiablo]

Really? Have you tried.. because right now on my car which is at 1.9-2 bar i have non beaded ss pipes.
And no i dont have mikalor clamps either

[Eskiiboi]

I run 24 psi, had mikalor clamps, and the same two pipes popped off all the time on a spirited drive. Got fed up in the end and welded some beading on and it hasn't done it since

My mate has an fmicd bora running 25psi....his non beaded pipes keep popping off....hence why I posted above and why I made sure mine are beaded lol!

I have no idea how you manage that lol

[4WayDiablo]

Well in that case i dont know why mine are still on, 1.9 bar is what 30psi? And theyre holding ?
