Hoses

[boredbloke]

This maybe the wrong forum but i couldn't choose between styling and technical!

can someone please tell me the sizes an approximate length of the hoses,
I want to get some of the braided hoses but i have no clue what size any of them are!!

Plese help!

Cheers All!

narrow it down a bit!

fuel lines
brake lines
coolant

etc lol

[boredbloke]

all of em!.... well the ones people mainly colour code if you like?

I found braided sleeves for dirt cheap money on purepassionracing.com

and thought yeah that might look pretty cool!

I just haven't got the money to by samco's at the mo!

[Stuart]

umm id advise to stay away from the overbraid shit. It can mask problems with the hoses, eg if you head gasket fails in a particular way then the hoses will pressurise and you wont be able to tell due to the overbraid

save that money and put it towards the samco kit.

Alright mate I think i'll do that, do you know whether i can get a samco hose kit for a nova or whether i have to specify what bit i want etc?

Cheers for the Advice by the way
