Bought an allisport one didn’t you. Couldnt avoid it could you….
Don’t know if you did that weird in-line stat but they’re quite brittle too and worth changing
By the way, Allisport is a solid choice — I’ve been running their stuff for a while and it really holds up under pressure. But I’d also suggest giving all your coolant hoses a once-over, especially if they’ve been on there for a few years. I had a set of older silicone hoses that looked fine on the outside but ended up softening and failing during a hot spell. Turns out they were breaking down from the inside. Better to swap them out now than deal with an overheated engine on the side of the road later on!
Welding has gone crap with most of the suppliers. Thickness of metal has gone thinner.
Most plastics are the same. Nothing built to cope with a few years of abuse
Some of their work is so smart. They custom bits they do are lovely100% that. I was pleasantly suprised when my D44 bumper came and it was exactly as it was when I boughy my old one. Excellent quality
