I have a Fireblade engine and Nissan Micra radiator in an MK-Indy. The top rad hose needs to turn through a tight bend when coming off the engine, before doubling back to the rad. I wondered whether anyone knew if 25mm ID Silicon hoses will bend enough without kinking in this application or whether I need to use some other means of exiting the engine?

You can get silicone hoses with built-in bends of various degrees...

...you'll probably need coupling pieces to connect to any straight hoses you need.

Sorry, that's of no use to you whatsoever.... you could try Superflex coolant hose from Demon Tweeks (quite pricey though). It is in the motorcycle catalogue.

Meter lengths in blue 6.5mm = about £22 (other bore available)

try the burtons catalogue..... tends to be a bit cheaper i think.

cheers

Hi used Samco hoses, Rally Design have them at 1/2 the price of Demon Cheats......

all colours, all the bendy bits u could ever want..........

Rally Design may be cheap but their website is pants!

Scanned pages which you can't read as they are all blurred. If people are going to bother to set up a website, why can't they make it worthwhile.

Jon, maybe you could let us know what size hoses you bought and how much you paid?

Yup,i agree website is shiiite! but if you give them a bell they'll send you a nice glossy brochure inside a copy of CCC. They have loadsa cool stuff and prices are good too, mine came in next days post , so i guess they're efficient as well.
