Any use? https://www.hoseshop.net/reinforced-pvc-hose/pvc-reinforced-hose-18mm-od-x-13mm-12-i-d-15-mtr |

That's the sort of stuff, but sadly they also only offer 13 & 16 mm o/d :scratch: I've found a place on eBay that stocks 14 mm so I've ordered a bit (1 metre) of that, and also a metre of their 16 mm. Probably the 14 mm will be OK when warmed up a bit, but as I said before access is tricky. (The adjacent side panel does bolt on, but it also holds the pivot that the whole thing swings on so not easy to remove) |

The 14mm hose will easily go onto a 15mm barb if you poke it up an exhaust pipe for half a minute. I've done this many times on site especially in winter. Engine has to be running :) |

Andrew, If your object was to give us head aches, you succeeded! I couldn't see it from your explanation and diagram! Seems to me to be break out the ohm meter time! Good luck with the hoses! It's so near now! Cheers, Matthew |

Matthew I knew that it was a difficult concept to get across - I struggled writing it coherently - but basically if connected so that the coolant flowed correctly it would have put a dead short across the driver output and if connected so the electrical drive was correct, no coolant would flow (I think!) |
