Hose Joiner Issues

[speedtripledan]

I have just ordered all new silicone hoses to finish off the supercharged build. I needed 16mm hose joiners to link a series of elbows together for the heater matrix, so ordered them as well from the well know supplier. What I expected was 50mm alloy joiners with beaded ends what I got was cut lengths of tube of varying lengths roughly cut with burs. Not at all like the website showed. I was a bit *bleep* off. So decided to use a different idea which was cheaper and far better quality, slight mod in the lathe and perfect.

15mm tube plus an olive would give the tight fit required.

Good initiative Dan. No leaks with those.

I realise that you do not want to point fingers but I sure would like to know who to avoid.
