Hi

Plastic pipes with fittings are less than a tenner is it worth the aggro?

Are you going to risk the fittings that you put on the ends of the pipes coming off under pressure? Messy!

The local hardware store sells plastic pipe of the orrect dimension (1/8 inch OD, I think), by the foot. Their plumbing dept also carries the nuts and ferrules. All for around $5.00 USD. Give that a try.

East Sussex Minors do them for £5.95 inc fittings

And - is the oil pressure good?

yes it shows 60 at start up and 40 when warmed up on the smiths gauge

[bmcecosse]

40 when running at anything greater than 40 mph is a bit on the low side....... If however that's an idling pressure - then it's grand!

[samuria]

yes that when idling. over 40mph its 60+

No worries then - that's perfect.
