ANF Posted 17March, 2017 Report Share Posted 17March, 2017 Hi PFA,I need to find a 19mm I.D. silicone hose (or rubber) that has a very tight bend radius (40 - 50mm) or a preformed bend similar to pic below. Does anyone know of a reliable source in Australia?Thanking you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter M Posted 17March, 2017 Report Share Posted 17March, 2017 Adam,sometimes you will come across preformed car heater hoses that are variously shaped like that in that size. Usually Supercheap have a bin of these assorted hoses in store that may produce what you want. Can't remember the brand but their website might by worth a look too.

Stew F Posted 17March, 2017 Report Share Posted 17March, 2017 The limiting factor, as you've discovered, is going to be the small bend radius that you need. Have you seen these?http://www.autosiliconehoses.com/silicone-hose-shop/performance-silicone-hoses/180-silicone-elbows.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANF Posted 19March, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 19March, 2017 http://www.turbosmart.com.au/new-releases/black-silicone-hoses Cheers Michel, but they don't appear to offer 180 bends? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michel Posted 19March, 2017 Report Share Posted 19March, 2017 I'd call them ... might be under their 'extras' there are also a bunch of companies that'll make anything on request. As an aside have you seen how these are made ? U tube it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
