Radiator Hoses

Hi Again,
Anyone use ali tubing to extend the hoses? I have some 1.5 wall ali tube which is the right diameter. Anyone else put something like this between the two ends.

Whats the alternative, universal convoluted stuff?

I used stainless tubing, a bit heavier, but stays brighter longer. Rescued attachment stainless plumbing1small.JPG

Funny you should say that !

Its from the millennium dome. When they were refurbishing it, turning it into a casino/stripclub or something, all the original fittings were torn out. Its nice to know where our tax payers money goes innit !
