gave this some serious abuse, got me to pvs and back, 3 runs up the strip and some serious a*** kicking including a good 10 seconds with the needle off the clock and buried into the reset button, still shows no signs of cracking or moving so think i may have proved you a bit wrong dan although i've never had the temp gauge above half, even in traffic so dont know how it would manage at higher temperature. wouldn't use it for a balls out track car either ernie
Not bad mate, I was thinking of doing something similar, or just fitting a cav header tank. At the moment ive just tapped it into the return which goes into the thermostat housing, which seems fine.
Fair play then Alan, still would not use it on my car, but glad its working for you!
only reason i did it that way is because it looks a bit better, i can plastic weld but I.M.O this is just as good, dont think it would work if the pipe wasn't as tight a fit as it is, really had to give it some welly to get it into place. will upgrade to a bailey item at some point as i'm awaiting delivery of a bottom end to convert to LET
Cool, i have a bailey type tank, i had to get another take off welded on for the let, but i think bailey may do a let specific tank now with the extra take off.
Or just block the 8mil coolant outlet off, on the inlet, like ive done.
No need to have a pipe at all then

Thats mine
that all needs to be coated matt black
it needs the correct size jubilee clips on it thats what it needs.
as a few have said, I've never ran said pipe on any XE I've ever had, and they've all been track orientated/ abused
