Default SAMCO WATER PIPES 180 Degree Elbow

Hi,

I have just fitted an RS500 intercooler in place of the original chargecooler. The two water pipes from the block to the chargecooler are now redundant and need to be replaced with a 180 degree elbow.

I have found one at demon tweeks, can anyone else who has an RS500 intercooler confirm that this is what I need ???, or another supplier ??

Thanks in advance !!

Maybe you don't have place to keep you chargecooler and you want to get rid of it and want me to take it from you?

Azrael,

If you want a charge cooler off an escort i have one sitting here.

cos jon,

I got a u bend made from Roose and it was really good.

You connect it to the pipe coming out of the thermostat and connect it to the metal pipe that goes over the exhaust manifold carrying the water out of the heater matrix.

About £25 iirc.



Dave.

Thanks for the info Dave, I suppose i was being a bit tight as the samco pipe is something like 15 quid, but can't believe they wanted £7.50 to deliver. I live in lincoln which is where Roosesport are (have no idea where mind) and thought if the pipe was still about 15 quid i could pick it up.

I'm in no real rush now as i was bleeding the brakes yesterday and the bleed nipple sheared off ... typical !!

I think Azrael was talking about the small piece of samco being £25 !!

But £60 quid for that chargecooler is a bargain !!!!, i've been told around £100 is average !!

I was joking. You know it's always too expensive


If you still have it in couple of weeks I'll take it. Just don't have any money at the second.
