[andy_lang]

Hi all,

Its the top left in that pic. Cant seem to find it sold anywhere sepperately, so wondering if anyone knows the ID at each end so I can order up a custom one and then just replace it in one hit to save me time faffing!

Thank youuuuu

Are forge the only company who make this one separately
Just wondered if any one has found any one else that do it cheaper

Just Forge Aaron, expensive as they are they're the only ones who plough money into R&D for parts that we need. Try contacting a company called Creation Motorsport, they are slowly developing hoses based on the Forge ones however, their prices are more reasonable .

i might have one.?

sfs in luton (5hit town) do them on there own.

I have a Forge one that I have tried to fit but its either too tight or perhaps I can't work out the method to fit it.

I am just measuring it now.

The OD is 54mm.
The ID is 46mm.
Hence the thickness of the silicone is 4mm each side.

The OD is 63mm.
The ID is 55mm.
Thickness as above.

EDIT: I have a seperate ring as well in the 5 piece kit which was wrapped around the elbow. Is this meant to be part of the elbow or for a different location?
