Prof. Monkey Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 Hi have removed my standard intake from my NA, so the coolant bypass hoses are now redundant, they fit into metal pipes, what is the easiest and safest way to cap them? Anyone know where I can get the caps from? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzawu Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 All i did was just to cut about an inch of hose and inject loads of silicone to the end and wait to set. then used these to cap the ends. not had any problems at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said you used something to cap the ends? Did you use the clear silicon? Thanks dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazzawu Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 When i did the coolant bypass mod i had extra hosing. so i cut about 2 inch long bit of hosing squeezed some silicone to the ends. let the silicone set then used the bits of sealed hoses to cap the ends.
