Samco silicone hoses for Zetecs

[athens7]

There seems to be no Samco hose kit for a Caterham with a Zetec motor. Has anyone installed Samco hoses on a Zetec 7 (especially an st170 Zetec), and if so, which part numbers? I have a triple pass Caterham ali radiator, btw.

Hi athens I got most of mine from Raceline and the one's I couldn't get I use K series one and cut them to fit Regards Paul

Try RACELINE but you probably won't require the aluminium water hose pipe.

As said above I used the Raceline kit. I dont have aheater so didnt need anything more than the kit contains except for 2 blanking plugs for the water rail ans ally pipe which runs behind the radiator.

Pic of the Raceline kit here (metal pipe runs along under the radiator). Normal colour is Blue - but I like to be awkward

The Zetec kit pictured doesn't look anything like the hoses I need. Two of the three necessary hoses are stock Samco race hose pieces, and the third looks to be build-able from 2 90 degree elbows and an alloy connector. Merlin Motorsports had the pieces I needed in stock, unlike the US distributors. The trick with my installation is that two of the three hoses are 32mm on one end and 35mm on the other. The original hoses were 35mm on both ends, crimped down to fit the 32mm 3 pass ali radiator outlets, which, unsurprisingly, is where they are leaking. Thank goodness for reducer elbows!
