hadyn Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 This has happened twice now, in the week and at Santa Pod today, just as i crossed the line Basically my pipework to the boost gauge keeps coming loose at the point which joins into the gauge! Any ideas whats causing this?? Its been fine for 4 months, now all of a sudden keeps coming off???? Is it just slipping off, or is boost blowing the pipe off?? Feedback appreciated!

wez_p Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 get one of those tie wraps on it nice and tight, you know those little plastic jobbies that lock when you thread it in the other end & you can only cut off again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 Replace the hose with good quality rubber hose of the proper internal diameter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 Yep 3mm. Decent quality rubber hose seems to stay on much better than that plasticised stuff or the silicon type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
