I am also flying with the silicone hoses from Stefan Ingemarsson in
Sweden and find them to be very high quality and easy to install. For
the spring-clips I could not find a special tool and used an old pair of
two-position pliers, which worked like a charm. Europa Aircraft could
not supply the formed hoses for the classic mono-wheel at the time.
I also recently finished and installed fairings for the main wheel and
have flown with that installation for a few hours. It turns out, that
there is lots of room for a landing light in the forward part of the
fairing, which is attached to the swinging arm. I have made moulds for
the two-part fairings and could produce the moldings for interested
parties.

Hi Paul,
I have installed the blue silicone hoses from Stefan Ingemarsson on
the water radiator and am very happy with them. The replacement was
done one and a half year and 150 flying hours ago. The silicone is a lot
better than the original rubber material for withstanding the heat
radiated by the exhaust. Expensive but absolutely worth it in my
opinion.

Hi all
Some time ago someone posted a few pictures of blue silicone hoses for
the rotax engine and radiator. I was wondering who that was and if
the hoses turned out to be a success.
