Silicon hoses

Does anybody know the outside diameters of all the replacement silicon hoses

And how many clips needed for the hoses

to replace every hose you will need a total of 34 hose clamps.
You will need 3 differant clamp sizes.
8 x large = 44mm 32-50mm clamps
18 x medium = 28mm 20-32mm clamps
8 x small = 18mm 12-20mm clamps

this is assuming you will get a extra bleed hose to cut up and replace thr 3 hoses not included in the hose set

I would suggest you use constant pressure clamps such as the NORMA clamp

Somebody should sell a complete set of replacement hoses and clips.
I would buy one.

Many who have fitted the Silicon hoses have since wished they hadn't....

We did that a couple of years ago......a member had a full set of hoses produced and I obtained the correct NORMA hose clamps.

You wouldn't belive the hassle that followed

I think there are one or two members who have unfitted hoses they would be glad to get shot of....I have unsold stock of the correct clamps

I was going to replace the jubilee clips that were on the silicon hoses, i had a leak and i tightened every jubilee clip on the silicon hoses i could get to, but still couldn't find any leak, no tell tale signs from any of the silicon hoses with jubilee clips on

.
I had to take it to Wheelquick so it could go on the ramps whilst they had a look,they took the under tray off which i never did and found the leak immediately, it turned out to be an original hose with a clip missing

he said how have you managed that

without it blowing off under pressure, one jubilee clip later no leaks, and no charge from Mike at wheelquick

mind you he did ask me to go with him to pick a car up, so fair trade.
