errr, thinking of replacing my hoses by blingy silicone ones.

I believe Ford uses 32 mm for a lot of its cars (old ones anyway) and that appearswto be the case for the radiator and water pump, but on the crossflow thermostat housing, I measure to be 40+ mm!!?!?!

Do you try to push on a 32 mm hose or use an reducer 40 -> 32 mm are available.



and is auto-performance on ebay the cheapest place for silicone hoses?

it will be much easier to use a reducer than struggling to stretch a silicone tube 8mm oversize. Ive found they dont tend to have that much stretch in them. especially not when you talking abour pipe as small as 32mm

hi there the thermostat housing is 32mm on the crossflow i have just changed mine to samco
cheers

auto performance are also mr silicone on ebay and i think there is another name which is the same people, so shop round between the shops once you have a list that you need

cheers
