Im not happy with the makeshift one i made up when putting the engine together and its time to replace it but not sure what engine used one long enough to reach?

I did see that pic but its of no use as my head has the coolant elbow on the back so i don't need a T type hose at the front..ImysE30 wrote:I've taken this from the M30 WIKI:

You'll need an E32/E34 top hose, with the built-in T-piece to the heater matrix. This T-piece goes to the bottom connecton on your heater matrix.
You need another T-piece to go in the pipe from the thermostat housing to the header tank (from an E28; BMW part number # 11 53 1 272 866). You can then connect from here to the top connection on your heater matrix.
Any help?
Yea, Most of the conversions i can find have the pipe with the T piece going under the manifold..ImysE30 wrote:Not sure, have you tried a search on here or on Google?
Might go down that route lolImysE30 wrote:Lol, can't you get a custom one made from a local company?

Has it got the correct length to reach from the thermostat housing to the radiator though. What engine size from the E28 would be the right size..im sure all engines didnt use the same length hoses..scoobydo wrote:what is wrong with the standard one from an E28 this doesnt have the t piece
Now this is what i was asking for! Thank you!scoobydo wrote:Here is my one

slightly too long but can be trimmed at the thermostat end if you really want.
What did you do about clearance around the heater pipe to the gooseneck on the back of the head. I brazed a copper plumbing elbow. Also had tomodify the gooseneck with a bit of copper pipe. Both of these mods not required if in position 1 or 2.
