JaiKai Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Got a set of these pipes which the ports going to the cam covers have came loose. i've tried various types of rubber glue but nothing i try seems to fix them in position and they seem to be able to move about. The adaptors are both alluminium so any advice on what can stick them together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigh Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Have a look at Sikaflex Lee, it may adhere to silicone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaiKai Posted August 27, 2019 Author Share Posted August 27, 2019 Thats whats on it at the moment. I'll try it again but leave it a few days before fitting to be sure. Have a look at Sikaflex Lee, it may adhere to silicone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winnoze Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 How about trying that UV activated adhesive that's supposed to be able to glue anything ? Sent from my SM-N920C using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Go and buy a barb fitting with a threaded Male end. Three nuts and a washer. It’s gonna be fiddly but that’s your best bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewG Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 What material is here (arrowed) - is it just silicone or is there a metal part in it? Quote She's so fine, there's no tellin' where the money went - Simply irresistible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaiKai Posted August 29, 2019 Author Share Posted August 29, 2019 That's just a bit of previous silicon sealer I tried to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewG Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 I mean the small tube/nipple part. Quote She's so fine, there's no tellin' where the money went - Simply irresistible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaiKai Posted August 29, 2019 Author Share Posted August 29, 2019 No metal parts apart from the inserts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewG Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Assuming that the silicon nipples have just stretched try reversing the inserts and see it that holds them firmly in place. If that works I will machine new ones for you with a larger diameter (to be determined) part that goes into the nipple. 1 Quote She's so fine, there's no tellin' where the money went - Simply irresistible.

JaiKai Posted August 29, 2019 Author Share Posted August 29, 2019 I've redone them with Sikaflex for now and this time i've covered the neck of the opening rather than what goes on the metal inside. Done this last night and its dry to the touch now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
