Big Mark Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 (edited) 3 weekends of tinkering and engine bay makeover almost complete, just 1 hose left to replace. Various bits painted black and hoses replaced with 1 ply red silicone Next job - full suspension overhaul (Whifbitz handling kit) and SRD undertray waiting to be fitted.

Big Mark Posted April 20, 2015 Author Share Posted April 20, 2015 When my final metre of 8mm arrives I'll finish off the the vacuum hose to the brake servo. I got a full set of red silicone hoses as a pressie ages ago, but came from china and the one that should be on the left doesn't fit (might order another set from a better source (can't seen to find anywhere that sells them individually) or I might not bother as considering going single next year with would mean front mount intercooler and new pipework anyway. I'm currently resisting my OCD need to change the battery to a black and red one tho.................. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markylee Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Looks good, was that a hose kit? or did you make them up yourself, I am looking for a complete kit in dark blue or black , seen quite a few kits on ebay for the mk3 but nothing for a mkiv ,not sure why that is.

Big Mark Posted April 20, 2015 Author Share Posted April 20, 2015 (edited) For the vacuum hose I went on ebay and brought 1-ply silicone hose. I actually got the first batch last year to replace perished water hoses. As it's a reinforced ply it's thicker and better quality than cheap silicone hoses, overkill for vacuum hoses but gives a quality feel and look. It all came from ASH (Auto Silicone Hoses) via their ebay site. They sell it in 1 or 3 metre lengths. I used 3 metres of 3mm, 5mm, 6mm and 8mm and 1 metre of 10mm and 20mm. I actually need about 15cm of 12mm but not sure I can justify buying a metre of it just for 15mm Edited April 20, 2015 by Big Mark (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
