Well today I went to fit the hard pipes for the oil cooler and realised the hoses that go from the oil tree and the return one to the sump have been cut......

Obviously the person who supplied the engine decided to cut the ends off the hoses rather than undo the clamps....

Has anyone got some tips for replacing them?

I can't get to the oil tree one as the steering rack and engine mount are in the way.....

 

Also, which pipe has the restrictor in it?

Is it the 2 pipes from the engine to the hard lines or the 2 pipes from the hard lines to the oil cooler?

Can I fit braided hoses instead and lose the standard lines with the restrictor or do I need to use the old hoses??

 

The 2 intercooler pipes that run down and out under the inner wings....... What are they fixed to?

I am doing a N/A to TT conversion and the pipes are now in place...... but nowhere to bolt the mounting bracket on the pipe to.... is there some missing brackets?

 

What is the best vacuum pipe to use for the actuators?

I had some silicone and went to fit it........ but.... err.... it is crap...... mushy rubbish that fell apart as soon as I tried to clamp it with a hose clamp.....

I need to get something as I have nothing to use that is the right diameter..... silicone, rubber, braided?????

Cheers....

take some pics ... intercooler pipes are fixed on s type brackets

This is the mounting point that I have nothing to attach it to.....?

your pipes are the wrong way round

your pipes are the wrong way round

I have been using this info to fit it all.....

If you want i can come next weekend and have a look at them :)

Hi rolandas, I'm hoping to get all the pipes in by tomorrow..... just leaving the plenum to be put back........

Thanks for the offer......

Loads of pipes to connect up and need to work out what can be thrown away and what I need to connect up......lol

All the deletes done, but now trying to work out what goes where..... having to look for diagrams and pictures....lol

This is the problem with doing the conversion and deletes at the same time.....

Anyone got any ideas on the restrictor in the oil lines?????

Or what vacuum pipe to buy to use for the actuators?

And how to change the oil cooler hoses without removing the steering rack?
