Default rallydesign.co.uk my advice AVOID!

Bought some bumperettes and a silicon hose kit from this mob

1. Hose kit doesn't come with top hose to suit Australian 2L, despite advertised as RS2000. Can't help with a hose :(

2. Bumperettes came with the attachment points in the vertical not horizontal - they didn't respond to the email with the pictures

3. We will get you the best postage they said - commit to the purchase with this agreement. Postage cost 100 pound - larger and heavier boxes from burtons and motorsport tools 50 and 60 pounds respectively

Not Happy with the service or costs, anyone else suffered at the hands of these muppets???

Shame I just bought a brand new radiator but I have since researched radiators and there appears two different versions available see links.

I have the Aussie one, where the top hose is 80-100mm from the edge. I'm presuming that the UK hose kits fit the radiator in the second link with the top connection right at the edge.

Is that what mk1 radiators are like normally, I don't think it is?

Hope that explains it well enough

thanks for the heads up though. I'll learn from your mistake when I get new hoses.

Hope these help too! I've only shown the hose typr that is closest to ours and I think fits the radiator I've shown. There is also another type of radiator/hose combination in the UK where the radiator outlet turns 90 degrees before the hose goes on.
