JamieP Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 -24 is perfect, that's what I did mine in, it gives the same internal size, Steve went a bit smaller which I thought was a bit of a risk, seems to be ok though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was under the impression it was steve that bought your setup Jamie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FOSTA Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Nice one mate, I've never seen the braided top hose done before. Very interested to see what it looks like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 Just finished the plug and play loom connector for the Syvecs. So now the loom is almost finished. Firstly I need test fit it and then see how much I need to shorten it by to make the ECU look stock fit. More wiring going in the bin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hodge Posted February 2, 2013 Author Share Posted February 2, 2013 Just ordered the -24AN fittings and pipework for my top water pipe. If I'm totally honest, I feel like I've just been butt raped. For 2 fittings, and a 3ft length of braided hose, it's just cost me £266 delivered. I must me mental. It will look tasty though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dandan Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 If I'm honest, I was $#@!ting myself cutting it all up but what's the worst that can happen....... A less than perfect joint that doesn't cause a problem until it's seen a few heat cycles and some vibration.....and then it intermittently renders the car undriveable a long way from home on a summer road trip On a positive note - the car looks lovely mate, well done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never thought about asking anyone, if I'm honest. I just sort of impulsive bought them, cos I needed them. It happens to me all the time. Infact I think it's an actual illness.
