Part 2, Creating your own custom formed silicone cooling hoses for your car

In this video , which is part 2 of the cooling system, we look on how you can make a custom silicone cooling hose for your car.

[@jaredcolungaparedes1714]

I honestly loved this video. I will look into the website and hopefully I can find what I need. I drive a mid engine car with a ton of coolant hoses that are now discontinued. Therefore, I always just buy something from the auto parts store that looks as close to mine as possible and make it work. This however, seems like the way to go now! Thank you!

[@D3Sshooter]

Thanks for the comments, it worked for me and hopefully it works for you.

[@jamesbuckle6077]

Came here expecting a how-to-mold-your-own hoses. Mildly disappointed.

[@josharnison461]

Did you find a good one ?

[@ZBrink11]

Right? 🤦

[@freelectron2029]

Same. If you need avideo to know how to join hoses with hose clamps maybe you shouldn't be working on machinery in general.

[@shaun7057]

Same

[@seanandersen]

Only thing your full of is great ideas, thanks man!

[@RAYMONDJSILKE]

This is just what i needed to see..... I'm not the only one who loves to fab up my rad hoses like this. My theory is; if you have to use a lot of hardware make sure your work is very neat. Love it! :^)

[@sugarpop6112]

Hi. Can i use stainless steel instead of silicone based for cooling hose? Thanks

[@pollyevhillson3089]

OMG there is hope for me , I have been trying so hard to get a water hose for my Mazda mx3 1998 .. it’s like only the size of 2feet,, I’ll keep looking but if nothing comes up .this video will be on my list 100% so cool

[@D3Sshooter]

Good luck! Thanks for comments

[@colt5189]

What brand/type hose clamps are those?

[@firstdayonline]

Thank you!

[@davidgray8910]

Looks like a good custom alternative my friend. How long does the silicon hose last as apposed to the normal rubber hose?

[@D3Sshooter]

Thank you for the comments, so far I have them 4 years on a car and no issues so far

[@mzeeraza3516]

Awesome 👍🏾

[@D3Sshooter]

Thanks

[@tribuloustr6othermuses82]

Looks like a great solution to me - I have never understood why standard hoses are black, the blue looks so much better !

[@D3Sshooter]

Thank you

[@hiwowsport]

In the refit industry, general antique cars like black, and traditional car refit cars like blue. Now in recent years they like red inside and black outside. The colors can be customized according to customers.

[@aaronmatuszny8856]

Any color other than black can get smudged with grease & oil and is nigh impossible to clean off of silicone.

[@spignetti]

@@aaronmatuszny8856 that's exactly it.....esp. the lower radiator hose like in my situation..I'll stick with black on the bottom, maybe go blue on top..

[@phillipsmith1847]

I think you got it going on with what you are talking about. Bought rubber radiator hoses for my particular model, and they didn't fit. Looking for solutions. Yours sounds like a good one. Thanks!

[@D3Sshooter]

Txs for the comments,

[@phillipsmith1847]

@@D3Sshooter You're welcome! Good advice.

[@josephdupont]

how about adding copper tubing heat exchanger for heat in the back of a camper.

[@D3Sshooter]

Thanks for the comments

[@adamc668]

Hi you could take a look at Sil-Poxy or Sil-Key which are silicone bonding agents these might allow you to use less hose clamps at the intermediate joins.. Thank for the link to the website for the tubing... 👍🏻

[@D3Sshooter]

@canuckguy worried , they are very good however when looking at it , one might get the impression that its a mickey mouse job just because of the spanners

[@D3Sshooter]

I will have a look and see how that might work , a combination of the coupler and that product you mentioned... It would have to bond aluminium and silicone, so i assume we will need a primer to do so. Good tip , thnaks

[@AnhThu-ie3ck]

I need to order those products .

[@digitalbilly]

can you please link part 1???

[@prabup5568]

Sir can i use this hose as turbo hose

[@70carlton]

Where is the rusty french truck? I enjoyed your metal panel making...

[@D3Sshooter]

Its awaiting full time attendance, I had to clear-up a few small projects first. Soon Rusty is back... big time Thanks for waiting

[@hiwowsport]

@@D3Sshooter Our factory can add the metal wire to the inside of the silicone tube to enhance the negative pressure strength of the silicone hose. At the same time, the wire will not be exposed on the inner and outer surfaces. This is our company's invention patent in 1991.

[@LeonardoMendoza-bw3pq]

Does anyone know where I could buy the lines and hardware

[@michaelaustria75]

hi can you tell me an silicone repair glue , it is for connect a a hose into another

[@D3Sshooter]

sorry, I have used TEC7 that seems to work but not perfect

[@bluspirit81]

Can give me link of part 1?

[@vincevedernack6150]

Look at Gates heat shrink clamps for a cleaner look.

[@D3Sshooter]

thanks for the comments and tip

[@pirihern9329]

I know less. Thanks from hamden,ct. Have 2006 subie looming to replace the eom hoses with silicone hoses.not much to choose from. Samco, mishimoto

[@D3Sshooter]

Glad to help

[@wormkeblack]

Geen problemen met de keuring in Belgie?

[@D3Sshooter]

Nee , dat was geen probleem omdat dit niet wordt nagekeken

[@sezeryal]

20cm pipe is 20 EUROS. Prices are VERY reasonable.

[@apesplanet3301]

Ijustgave you the 700like...

[@scattkiwiman]

just be careful that you don't have a high spot in that tube. Should have a bleeding valve on the highest point, could be an air-trap ?

[@D3Sshooter]

Indeed, this hose is already a lot lower then the original , but I need to be able to get distributor cap off... I refill the cooling liquid always under vacuum, and seems to work very well

[@dingbop963]

Upgrade those hose clamps too

[@D3Sshooter]

Thanks for the comments

[@christophermichael5256]

What would you suggest to upgrade them too? I’d like to upgrade mine aswell, been looking for all the insight i can get.

[@buckshotgeorge7201]

Are you from Germany?

[@tirvplumbing]

What happening with ol rusty these days been watching for any new vids on the truck.

[@D3Sshooter]

Tigers Allotment & Garden its up next now that the mgb is done. So soon real soon

[@casparharte]

Change to Constant Tension Clamp, the worm screw ones wil leak

[@csmanul]

each joint increases the leak probability, you want that probability as low as possible.

[@tomwatkins4730]

Have you worked on the engine of the (Renault?) delivery truck (6-wheel model)?

[@D3Sshooter]

I have worked on the citroen U23 indeed. I might have that running soon on a stand.

[@mr.emr.r5876]

Okay can you turn on the car and see if your silicone id.not leaking

[@D3Sshooter]

Yes , I did ...even with a pressure test.

Hey man I’d love for you to make me a set !

Very misleading video title, this is just a cobbled together mess

[@D3Sshooter]

claymore2k1 txs for your honest comments. And now, how would you do it

[@richardschofield2201]

@@D3Sshooter I think claymore2k1 may have been looking for the same thing that I am. And that's how to wrap and bake your own hoses. It may not be a DIY job. For me, the change in angle, shape and diameter is such that standard hose bends won't work. Plus they are too flexible. I'm looking to make intake runners.
