where to buy a pair....

[jaky cakes]

of front cabin heater matrix supply hoses? 2nd gen 3.0l - these are the external hoses that attatch to the heater control valve in the engine bay and run down to a connector just behind the turbo.
mine have been repeatedly butchered by myself when experimenting with heat exchangers for veg - and now I've finally come up with the best method of running pipework - my pipes are shot...so need a new pair.
milners / roughtrax don't stock them.
anybody got any kicking about in their shed or know of a supplier??

I was contemplating making them out of polished custom bent copper tube but unsure of effects of the engine coolant.

[POPEYE]

Copper tube should be ok with coolant, i've copper and brass in the system and no ill effects, it was i believe veg oil and copper that was a prob, i take it you cannot get ordinary heater hose to bend sufficiently tight for this (without it kinking)?

I might still have some on the breaker here.Once the rain stops i'll have a look for you.I know one short one was cut though but that was only a piece a couple of inches long
If you want new the look here for the part number and then contact Toyota

That's the main problem - but also the pipe reduces from 19mm ID to 16 mm ID at the incomming connection.
If Richard ain't got one then I'll get my benders out - and a few meters of copper - i'm $hit at bending the stuff!! lol

[stormforce]

i have both of the pipes.What you reacon £12.50 delivered ok

[jaky cakes]

Where abouts is the cut you mentioned earlier?

[stormforce]

where the mech is on the bulkhead there's the one short pipe a few inches long which was cut tight to the pipe in the bulkhed but the rubber still has a bend in it though

[jaky cakes]

That's ok then - tis the other ends that need to be intact.
PM me your paypal details or address for cheque/postal orders etc and I'll get to it straight away!
