Hi Martin,
I have just gone through this exercise.
Re the Europa specific coolant hoses, I recommend that you get these
---From Bud Yerly at http://www.customflightcreations.com/ I bought the
regular 17mm water hose from Lockwood at an outrageous price per meter.
17 mm is not a stock size in the US. Also you will need the special
formed hose (922 192) at cyl. # 3 top. Regular straight hose will kink
at this location.
Re the 90 deg bend to the oil pump from the cooler, Lockwood
<http://www.lockwood.aero/> sell a 90 deg metal adapter to permit you to
use straight hose. I could not find the part no. for this fitting in
their catalog but if you call them, they will know what you need. I used
Aeroquip FC 332 0.50 inch hose for the oil lines.

Subject: Europa-List: Rubber Hoses
I'm looking to replace all my rubber hoses this spring and I'm looking for a
recommendation
---From those who have recently done this.
The straight lengths of hose are easy I can get the sizes I need from Lockwood
or similar but I'm not sure of the Europa specific ones, the two coolant hoses
that come up from the radiator and the oil tubing which has the 90 deg bend it
that runs from the oil pump to the can.
I assume you can get them from Europa of course but if they are from some other
aircraft or vehicle then I can probably source them here in the States.
Any recommendations would be appreciated.
