Wanted - Elise Coolant hoses.

specifically the engine outlet hose that runs down from the top of the block (gearbox end). and the hose that attaches to the pipe in the sill on the drivers side (to the radiotor)

anybody know of any S1's being broken for spares at the moment.

Cheers

Cheers Shaun, I'd have a look but for some reason ebay's not working on this knackered old laptop at the moment.

I'll check it out on monday at work.

You could always have the old bits from mine I suppose

I've deffo got the sill piece, not sure about the other bits, only need a couple of 90deg bends though IIRC so should be able to bodge something together.

Cheers for the offers chaps.

Matt, I need the later type hose going into the sill from the type that you've swapped to, so your old bits probably won't do (it's the hose with the heater matrix take-off on it that I really need)

Ric, thanks for the offer, I'll mull it over......mulled it over now....No!!!

Simon, the one coming out of the engine could be useful if you've got a spare I'm sure we could come to some sort of arrangement.

in case you haven't figured it out it's for the PRT fitting, my old style hoses have a different arrangement to later cars, and the later cars are a bit easier to sort the plumbing with so I'm trying to convert to the later setup so I can fit the PRT.

Hmm forgot there was a reason I didn't use it..... still it may come in useful I'll still get it back off my mate

Fitting my PRRT tomoz. Surely plumbing like this can be made up?

I can make most of it all up quite easily, the drop down the front of the engine, and then running across the bottom of the bulkhead to the other side is quite simple, but the final hose that goes into the drivers sill has a small heater take off on it, it'd be a lot easier to get a new/used one.

I might give JCT a bell, see how much a brand spankin one is.

I've messaged the bloke on eBay who's breaking - he's gonna get back to me cos he's got to check apparently

will let you know

Do you need some jubilee clips BTW ? size ?

Joff · Sun Sep 17, 2006 8:02 pm

Cheers Matt, got quite a few jubilee's, but just in case....the ali pipe's 32 mm diamenter, rubber hose fits on top, so maybe 36-38 mm somewhere round that I reckon.

Cheers for e-mailing that fella..... busy then!
