| Subject: | Water pipe replacement |
I have three problems. I decided to replace my 912 water pipes with silicon.
1. The rotax spring clips won't go over the silicon at the knuckle (16 mm ash pipe
- presumably I need to buy new clips.
2. Top back stb looks like I need to buy a bend
3 access to water pump end, particularly starboard side - tricky; should I remove
the water pump ? Or exhaust and oil tank. All the pipes look great, (remind
me why I started this).

I found this company useful for hose clamps of all types.
https://www.hcl-clamping.co.uk/
I replaced my hoses a couple years back and didn=99t remove any compon
ents or water pumps so doable. The only shaped pipes I used were those into a
nd out of the water pump all the rest from straight stuff.

Hey Alan. Doesn't look that dissimilar ot what i was faced with. I did have to
file some of the edge of the ducting to get everything to fit nicely

I have all the old pipes off (would have been easier with the cable based tool
that arrived this afternoon ! In the end I removed the carbs, inlet manifolds,
oil tank and exhaust to gain good access.
I want to retain the rotax constant compression spring clips but I still have the
issue that they don't expand enough to go over the silicon on the knuckle.
The ASH silicon pipe (3 ply) is 4.5 thick and the knuckle 19 so they need to open
at least 28mm. The clips are marked TS and 25 and open 25 mm max dia.
If people have them 'slipping on' then either they are using thinner walled pipe
(say 1 ply), different clips (say CBT-25.2 -W1 from HCL or using worm type clips.

if its only a small amount you need to fit your existing clamps then you can remove
a small amount of metal from the tang on the clips to allow slightly more
expansion ,
but there are plenty of slightly larger sizes on ebay and the like,
google is your friend
