Identifying
the RV8 replacement cooling hoses
Simon Austin in Canada posted a V8BB query seeking help in identifying
a couple of hoses in the set of eleven in the replacement hose
kit. So we have prepared a note identifying each one. (Jan
11)
Simon Austin's V8BB posting said "I've
got the kit from Clive Wheatley to swap out the old hoses for
the new ones. In the kit there's eleven hoses altogether. I've
identified 10 of the 11 so far. The one that eludes me is an
overall length of 10" but has a 90° bend at the 8"
point. It's O.D. is 5/8" and I.D. is 5/16". Can anyone
tell me where this particular hose goes? The service manual
doesn't show it."
We contacted Steve Newton at Clive Wheatley mgv8parts who said
"there are two cooling pipes that connect to the plenum
cover plate and they are not shown in the RV8 Repair Manual
or on the RV8 Parts Manual - and even on the car they are difficult
to see too!" So he provided a copy of the photo of the
replacement water hose set on display on the their website dully
marked with a descriptive schedule alongside to show what each
hose does and where it is located. |

eleven replacement cooling hoses for the RV8 supplied by Clive
Wheatley mgv8parts.
Steve provided photos of the hoses connecting to the plenum
cover plate to help RV8 owners find them. He also mentioned
they have had the steel connecting pipe ZKC5004 between the
two bottom hoses remade as it had become NLA.
