Hi All,

I have a variety of Sard and Turbosmart branded blue silicone vacuum hoses for sale.

Good quality silicone hosing that are thick walled, and don't collaspe like your cheap eBay sh!t.

Sard hosing has the brand marking SARD etched into the hosing. The Turbosmart doesn't have brand marking at all.

There are good lengths and some are off cuts.

I measured them all up, and approx measurements as follows:

4mm Sard

1x 1.5m

1x 0.9m

6mm Sard

1x 1.0m

1x 0.5m

1x 0.6m

6mm Turbosmart

1x 5.6m

There are a few more extra off cuts around 0.5m to 0.7m in length, but they have been used so I haven't included it above. But they also be included in the pack.

This whole pack I'm after $70 ono picked up in Burwood East VIC or posted via Exp Post anywhere in Aus.

Given that a pack of 6mm x 3.0m Turbosmart go for about $40-50 delivered, I think that the variety pack I have is more than reasonable.

Preferred contact via sms on zero four two one 1 2 1 eight one eight.

Cheers,

Andy

    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
    • ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
