View Full Version : Xe/Let Roose Hose Kit - Which Water Bar?
Can anyone tell which water bar is required when using a roose hope kit? I'm currently buildin my engine back up and want to make sure I use the correct one, I have all three types but I believe it the Astra gte one that is used but I could be wrong as these are quiet rare incomparison to the other two
Thanks in advance

Thanks for the picture but I thought that one was the Cav/Cali one, the astra gte one i have has the outlet for the head tank on the corner pointing upwards very similar to the original small blocks

My mate said this to me aswell lol
I can 110% confirm the engine came out an Astra. Maybe they change over?? From the factory i mean.
But anyway...as you can see the bar i have is perfect for the Roose hoses.
I agree its definately the correct one, I suppose it depends on what car they used what they did the mandrels for the hoses, cheers Pete

The one you have should be fine, maybe trim the hose down slightly?
I'm not keen on the idea of cutting the hose when i can just use the correct water bar, i'll order the hoses first and the water bar from tx second
Astra gsi have the 3 out let on the top. (kinda pointing at the nova header)
Use a Cav/ Cally one.
