A long time since I've been on this forum. Can anyone suggest what radiator hoses to use when plumbing a RV8 to a Series radiator. Have searched the forums but have come up blank. Thanks in advance.

Most ive seen use those universal corrugated ones. Fit an elec fan on a thermostat as well.

I've just started making new ones from my S3, though with a Defender front and Mondeo rad, but the idea is the same. For me I gave up with multiple bits of rubber hose and joiners or corrugated pipe, and went directly for fabricating some stainless steel 38mm ones.

Stainless steel pipe makes it all look so much neater.

WOW, very smart. Will you have enough flex when the engine is moving about?

You'll find the engine moves very little, also there is a 7cm length of silicone pipe either end with around 2cm of movement in the middle of each. Allows for more movement than the engine is capable of.
