the Resurrection of Number ten

[Steve Lake]

hi Ian, thanks for the info, i have several srx coolers, and also an XT one, same element different pipework.
i have the original from #1, but its a tad tatty, your idea of a 'tidy up & hide it' plate appeals, what i'd like to do then is replace the equally tatty pipes with some nice s/s braided hoses, no idea where i'd source those ... i tried our local pertek workshop .... didn't seem very interested, when he mentioned a price i wasn't very interested then.

Bill, thanks for the link. had a look, LOADS of stuff, will peruse properly tonight. went to local hydraulic engineering Co just now, very positive, he can sort me out with s/s braided hoses married up to the existing ends, ready thursday, £60 ... so thats the last job ticked off.
off to the lake district for 10 days on Friday... bound to be wet, but we travel prepared. not taking the caravan this time, nice little cottage in the middle of nowhere, just south of penrith.

all i need now is a cheap, pack up small tent, couple of small gas cans for my tiny stove, some camping rations and i'm ready for the stafford weekend.

oh, and look what the kind man at the hydraulic place GAVE me ... correct unions at the engine end, just need cutting & crimping to the cooler. he's got a box of several hundred as a job lot ... something for me to play with one evening, might use them on #1 ...

The hoses look remarkably like plumbing tap connection hoses. 1/2inch female thread at one end, then a 15mm push fit spigot at t’other end. You may be able to fill the kettle up and make ya self a brew whilst literally being on the move 😉??

yes, i have used similar at home  diy  . should be ok, as long as they are not really old ones which weren't too clever with hot liquids.

worth a try
