Re: Europa-List: Re: Lack of space between exhaust and coolant hose.

I don't blame you, I do know that any hose within 1/2 inch with heat 
shield of the muffler doesn't last more than a few years without some 
air blowing on it.  Even a short hose and a nippled metal extension will 
work for a longer down pipe. It just takes time.
I am not familiar with A168.  Sorry.

Regards,
Bud

  Hi Bud,

  Thanks for your input. I have been thinking about this solution too. A 
straight socket however will interfere with the engine-mount. A 45 
degree one will probably do the job. But because everything is mounted, 
all hoses have just been replaced I guess at this point it is easier to 
make the downpipes a little longer. A second advantage is that at the 
same time the oil hose at the bottom of the engine gets more clearance 
too. 
  Is there anything against making the downpipes a little longer ?

  By the way my Europa, serial #A168 is the former N-303AU. So maybe you 
know the kit and builder.

  Regards,
