Hose dimensions

In news:Di1wd.172$ snipped-for-privacy@newsfe5-win.ntli.net, Lee_D blithered:

I suspect bearing in mind the antiquity of Land Rovers they are unlikely to be metric, imperial at least but more likely cubits and leagues.

Lee,

I happen to have a radiator from a 1988 RRC 3.5 Efi sitting in my carport. I will, if it is of any use, measure the diameters of the pipes on that.

Back from carport:

Both pipes on the rad are as near as makes no odds 35 mm in diameter but with a flare to 38 mm diameter that the hose must slip over. Does that make sense?

Cheers Rich!

And heres to Radiators in carports.... see you knew it was there for a reason :-)

Hi Lee,

Do you want it to adorn your carport or whatever? It's only slightly faulty - top plate has come unsoldered at the n/s end? My wretched 'cleaning operatives' won't take it with ordinary household junk and the erratic 'bulky refuse collection' won't take car parts. But, if I wanted to queue for an hour on Saturday I could take it to the tip that both collections empty their loads at, now where's the sense in that? Should I trundle down to the tip at 13 mpg with one duff rad on board or should a huge refuse truck stuffed to the gills take it? Obviously it makes sooo much more sense for me to take it - and they wonder why fly tipping is increasing round here.

TTFN
