Those last 2 look a little shorter, I think you'd just about be ok still, but can't be 100% sure

[Classik]

Ha, no need to beg and no money expected! I've already received a lot of help on this forum, so I'm happy to be able to give some back in return, really. If the latest link provided by Matt doesn't work, let me know and we'll try to get you sorted.

If in a fix, I'm pretty sure Think Automotive could machine you one up - but it would be £££

TBH, would be a piece of cake to machine up for you, although I think my biggest tap in the box at the moment is M18 - so by the time I got around to it, and ordered some brass hex, they'd probably be back in stock.

Thanks guys! Matt, that is what I thought when I saw them and it is a flaff for the garage and the multiple trips to/from them already for me. I don't want to risk getting the part, having the front of the car off again and then things not being quite right, the Garage will dig their heels in and say I have to buy the new rad at £1750....

Classik, I really would like to take you up on your offer, WILL be paying you for the part as it will get me out of a bind and I would like to try to get fast shipping to (at least from the point at which you can get to post it

[Shoppinit]

Chronopost will take a couple of days. Boxtal.com will give a good price.

Or I found this:

Or you could try calling Pirtek.

For you I can make it for £1000 which is a generous discount over your other £1750 option.
Seriously you'll just pay for the shipping costs and and next time you can, help someone else out, it could well be me

[Mr Footlong]

Thanks Shopp, Classik got me out of a bind and the part is winging its way over as I type this, may well be here tomorrow. Shipping and the cost of the part PP'd to you Classik, was the least I could and thank you again.

The way Classik describes it - 1000 is quite a bargain. lol

Actually we settled the case at £800...

Glad to help, really.

In that case, I'm gonna order some stock in for next time.

Hopefully I get the powdercoat stuff back this weekend so I can pop the motor back in soon - and will then do an update on this DIY for both sides (including the hardline across the top - potentially in stainless) and teflon hoses.

Subscribed, the other side is not as easy as the one described on the DIY.

I have most of the bits in my basket ready to go - just need the lock carrier back on to get the geometries right on the fittings

Loving the forum love.
