cheers tozerman very helpful

can you remember the approx length of the pipe that you bought ?
they seem to be 102mm leg ? do you x this by 2 making 204mm long is ideal ?
i'm not quite sure what the leg means

thanks keith

Hi Keith, can't remember the hose length but it was easily long enough, I cut it down to size to match the original one, at the end of the day the gap between the lower rad outlet and the long steel pipe is very small, so this hose will do fine (assuming you have the same long metal pipe as me !!)

Cheers.....Tony..

I replaced mine a month or so ago , take the old one to a an old school car parts shop and have a look at the hoses they have in stock untill you find one that more or less matches and then just cut it down to fit.
