Coolant pipes

[Jakeymd]

Hi guys and gals. I need to extend some coolant pipes on the astra due to fitting a new inlet manifold. Does anyone know where I can buy coolant pipe. I'm unsure of how these with connect onto the current pipes so any help would be great.

I'll be updating my project thread shortly with some news

ebay is your friend here mate!!
try not to connect to existing pipe use new lengths
if you do need to make bends, y or t connections yet again ebay

I'm sure the likes of Samco make all the hoses you need. As above, check eBay.

Failing Ebay, then Demon Tweeks do hoses and special couplers and reducers.

How much of a bad idea is connecting to existing pipes?

more chance of leaking and bursting

And looks tacky. Besides, the proper length pipe won't cost much more than a shorter length plus you will need a conector and extra clips.

All the pipes i want to extend run to T sections, so extending the whole length will be difficult. I also need a couple of cables off the loom extending, ideas?

 

[old-git]

In that case, just extend them, using quality connectors and clamps. Wiring can be extended either cheaply using bullet connectors or more expensively using male/female plugs. Both methods are acceptable and electrically safe.

Ahh, I didn't think of that, I thought for a moment I was going to have to do some soldering. Right, lets get my project thread updated...
