Re-leathering Steering Wheel Etc

Oh...

Yep its definitely difficult to slide on especially if the attachment has a lip of any sort.

Grab a rag and smear on some rp7/wd40. Works quite well.

Just don't go overboard as wd40 i'd imagine isn't too good for the oil.

Connecting it to the motor is difficult and you will end up feeling like your going to break your forearm pushing it on.

Cut the oil drain off so that its straight, thats what i ended up having to do as mine too was on an angle or does it angle from the start of the attachment? :S

That bit of hose I gave you was the softest stuff I found in that size. The gear I got from pirtek was very very solid.

haha, i shouldn't have posted this in this thread, oh well!

The problem i'm having you see is that my oil drain isn't directly at the bottom of the turbo which causes more headaches with the angle that it is on, i have already chopped it shorter as i used the xr6t oil drain with a new tube welded on. Because of the angle the hose has to bend into an 's' shape which just crimps it and only the cheap shit i have seems to wanna bend without crimping!

Ahh ok so the centre cartridge wasn't unbolted and moved so that its 'square' if you like?

Have a look in the sticky there's another rubber hose bloke who deals with only hoses. Pop through there and see what he has.

I was really after just a nice rubber oil resistant hose like stock uses but Adelaide hose and belt only had the pressure stuff that tends to be a little stiff.

Speaking of which, anyone know where I can get silicone intercooler hose piping? I want 3" stuff but everyone just sells couplings that are 3" x 3". I want a longer one, about 5" long instead. Sorry for the hijack.

Unless you plan to wrap your turbo in leather?

i thought only the 2 housings moved and not the centre bit?

[Cubes]

Yep thats right the 2 housings move... Which when bolted up essentially rotates the centre bit at a different angle.
