wizurd Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 Hi all :-) I'm trying to fit my weapon R power steering tank but the smaller of the two pipes at the bottom of it is a little thick for the rubber power steering pipe. I'm thinking about replacing both rubber hoses with some silicone ones instead. Does anyone know if i need a certain type of silicone hose since they will be holding power steering fluid and i don't know how this reacts with silicone hoses. Also anyone done this before and if so do you know the exact lengths and diameters i'll need. If not i'll just stop being lazy and measure it up myself. cheers Dan 1 Quote
Greg Warnes Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 I managed to do it by taking the smaller diameter pipe off the car, heating it up in some hot water then forcing it onto the tank on a bench. It was not easy but has been fine for over a year. 1 Quote
Greg Warnes Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 Fairy liquid on the inside of the pipe also helps Quote
wizurd Posted May 13, 2014 Author Posted May 13, 2014 Yer tried that. The diameter of the pipe on the power steering tank is probably 4 or 5mm more than the stand plastic one. Quote
Ceejay29 Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 How did you get on with this in the end Wizurd....will be tackling it soon Quote
Stutopia Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 When my tech fitted mine he had some double walled silicone hosing lying about, which was marginally wider and fitted spot on. Might have been SAMCO. 1 Quote
Ceejay29 Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 Yes might order 10/12mm from samco or similar Quote
