Nice detective work David. I'm glad that you have taken the time to determine the root cause of the failure.

You should be able to feel if this reinforcer is still in place by squeezing the area. Perhaps as Craig suggested a jubilee clip might not be a bad idea to make sure it stays put.

I agree with Mark, it's really good detective work. Nice one David. Very nice job indeed. Great mock up pics too. :broon:

I'm going to head over the Canadian Tire and get a roll of silicone self-fusing tape to carry in the F.

:lol: Just got my roll! :yesnod:


Received my shiny new hose from Rimmer Bros this morning, so now it's all fitted and the system bled. :woohoo:
Overwhelmed by success I finally fitted my new door pin bushes too. :yesnod:

Another failed hose of the same type being dissected. You can also see the jiggle valve after being taken apart. :dry:
