Hi you lot,

 

I am taking out my hicas soon and want to connect the two pipes together to keep the curcit going so to speak.

 

Before I take the hoses off and get fliud all over the drive, can anyone tell me what size thread the fittings are and are they conical or flat (i:e with an 'o' ring) so I can get the connection first.

 

Cheers, Scrawni.

so are you fitting an eliminator?

 

as you have feed and return going to the hicas unit, the eliminator bins the hicas and if you have the kit it comes with a link hose which as you say causes a loop,you then need worry no more!

 

if your just causing a loop then you can cut pipes and add a piece of sturdy hose so it loops the systym and secure with jubilee clips

 

people make the mistake of fitting an eliminator, and forgeting they have 15year old arms and bushes coming of the unit, therefor once unit is disabled you still have worn rear suspension, which will handle poorly :smash:

just to add any bolt fitment will have flat copper washers, mainly used for PS/hicas joins and turbo's

so are you fitting an eliminator?

 

Hey Greg,

 

I'm not fitting an eliminator, I'm fitting an n/a subframe and toe arms.

I can get hold of lots of fittings at work and would have liked to get one before taking the pipes off so as to lessen the oil spilage, not to worry cheers anyway.
