Full silicone hose kits?

Post by Ammo » Thu May 24, 2012 11:19 pm

Does any company do a full kit for the lude?

as in all the coolant pipes, so far i can only find top and bottom rad hoses

My pipe between the dizzy and the heater matrix has gone pop so was looking for up grades but not finding any

I've never properly searched for one, but the only ones I've ever seen that have been labelled for the Prelude have just been generic cut-to-length regular sizes in a kit, and never included rad hoses.

I could take the one off my UKDM just seeing if there's an upgrade about, but it appears not

£34 odd from honda according to lings

Not that I can afford a group buy, but if a company was up for making a full lude set would anyone be interested?

these guys do a B series kits for £120

Don't know if it will help you but a mate is building a mk 1 Capri racer at the moment.

He has fabricated all his own hoses by buying the straights/elbows etc and joining with alloy pipe jointing sections, I am not sure how he is sealing them or if he is at all as they seemed to be a really tight fit.

Probably with some High Temp RTV I would think. I can ask if you want to know.

They look really good and he has done it before on his builds with no problems.

Might help you :)

You could give pirtek a call. They'll make any hose you want, not sure of rates however but could be worth an ask.
