PAS - High pressure hose and fixings - mackat - 21-05-2016 Everything that could have gone, has gone wrong with my PAS pump relocation. I've finally moved the pump and it's all connected to the AUX belt, but in the move I connected up the pipe and flex connection wrong. Trying to fix this I've buggered up the pipe connection into the pump. Does anyone know where I can get an angled after-market connector into the pump, high pressure hose and a connector onto the piping which feeds under the engine block? Thanks RE: PAS - High pressure hose and fixings - insomaniac45 - 22-05-2016 Have you tried places like pirtek? They stick pretty much everything just tell them what you need, or even better take a sample to them with the right threads and they should be able watch it up for you RE: PAS - High pressure hose and fixings - mackat - 22-05-2016 (22-05-2016, 08:42 AM)insomaniac45 Wrote: Have you tried places like pirtek?

Have done a pikey fix until Monday when I can get hold of Earls Performance: RE: PAS - High pressure hose and fixings - Paul_13 - 22-05-2016 Proper bodge Like it RE: PAS - High pressure hose and fixings - insomaniac45 - 22-05-2016 how many people wanna bet it stays like that nowt wrong with it now fella :p RE: PAS - High pressure hose and fixings - mackat - 22-05-2016 Have been for two really heavy blasts around some country lanes - No leaks so far!! RE: PAS - High pressure hose and fixings - welshpug - 22-05-2016 looks fine that tbf! RE: PAS - High pressure hose and fixings - cully - 22-05-2016 good effort! RE: PAS - High pressure hose and fixings - toseland - 23-05-2016 itll be one of those "wont leak, just explode" things most likely. lol Pirtek or flowcontrol, pretty much any half decent hydraulic hose supplier will be able to make/supply the required pipes and fittings. I wouldn't want to be using copper for a second more than I absolutely needed to.. Burst strength of Cu isn't huge at larger diameters hence they more often use steel, RE: PAS - High pressure hose and fixings - Paul_13 - 23-05-2016 Soft copper case hardens aswell RE: PAS - High pressure hose and fixings - toseland - 23-05-2016 that would be the short fatigue life.. its not rated for the pressures so expands and stretches, hardens, then bursts.. you can have it last months or even years, or days. Thinner lines (such as brake lines) have max operating pressures much lower than hydraulic lines, also the thinner the hose in relation to the sidewall thickness is allow it to sustain for longer periods higher pressures. the ratio is quite low in normal copper pipe (large diameter vs thin wall) which means that huge forces can be exerted on the sidewalls which physically aren't strong enough to handle it. Power steering pumps can put out anywhere between 350psi to over 2500 (we had one at work powering a small bench press and it would pop rams not rated appropriately when run with a 1hp motor) it depends, also, where the relief is set and I don't know what that is in the 306. Bear in mind that hitting potholes and bumps can also spike the pressure into the thousands even if the pump doesn't do it normally RE: PAS - High pressure hose and fixings - mackat - 23-05-2016 Just a temp stop gab for over the weekend so I could get the car running and look at a TB problem. The connectors and pipe are rated at 1000psi and since I wasn't planning on driving the car too much, thought I'd take the risk Cheers for the info guys - Always appreciated RE: PAS - High pressure hose and fixings - insomaniac45 - 23-05-2016 Tbh fella, I've seen a lot worse temporary repairs, It's not pikey it's more A-Team lol |
