Barrykearley 6,969 Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 What a surprise you cut them all off. Can't beat the grinder on esprit nuts and bolts. Far easier than a spanner Quote Only here once Link to post Share on other sites

Great progress Mike, you'll probably have a radiator specialist closer to you, but if you get stuck I can recommend Advanced Autocooling just up the M5 in Bristol. Avoid the cheap Chinese silicon hoses, a few horror stories on here about the quality and fit. I used Roose Motorsport fantastic quality, perfect fit, but a bit pricey.

cbclotus 521 Posted October 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 Thanks Steve .I bought a lot of hoses for the rear .From A place called auto silicon hose.They have all I needed .But they send the wrong sizes.i sent it back .they said they did not receive it ....so it dragged on .then they found it in the returns section .Also used merlin motor sport .Thanks for your advice ....Nice v8 you have there .....Mike 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
