thermostat and radiator breather tubes
i know its listed as vacuum hose, but is this stuff ok for breather hose?
eBay Item
says its ok for up to 180 degrees, only thing thats different to normal silicone hose is that theres no textile reinforcement in it.
i need something very bendy to get in all the spaces i need, so normal straight and elbow pieces won't do i don't think.

not much, the breather on the radiator is about 3" away from the header tank, but, given the bends i might have to coil it up a bit, about
12" maybe?

Using vacuum hose for internal pressure might no work --- usually vacuum hose isn't reinforce.
You can buy 10mm silicone coolant hose on ebay if you need very sharp right angle bends the MK Mondeo had a hose with useful bends or form the
bends in copper.

thanks richard, i've got some 8mm already (for the thermostat) but i need 10mm for the radiator. it might stretch out though, but i'll
probably get some 10mm anyway.
thanks though
