Silicone reinforced coolant hose to the bottom of the pressurized reservoir —

[AZSP33D]

Refreshing the coolant system and looking for a reinforced silicone version of this hose... have the Whoosh branded hoses otherwise so just looking for this one, any suggestions?

This stuff is great, might need to do some due diligence on the working pressure you need for the cooling system though. I used it for bpv plumbing: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OUVFL9A/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Off topic: did you do a write-up on those engine mounts by any chance that you can PM me a link to?

Thanks, it's not friendly towards any significant bends, but pressure is well under half of the rating.

No, but it's not difficult, purchased from Whoosh needed to add spacers to the bottom two chassis mounts (used hardened steel washers, one on each side) and engine supported from underneath with a block of Delrin and a large jack... used copper anti-seize and treated any areas with light corrosion.

Sorry, I meant more of a review. Did they increase NVH considerably?
