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.

The only shaped pipes I used were those into a nd out of the water pump all the rest from straight stuff.

Doesn't look that dissimilar ot what i was faced with.

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. -------- Graeme Bird G-UMPY - Mono Classic/XS FFW 912S, Woodcomp 3000/3W CS, trutrak Gemini 2 axis AP, PAW, PFLARM core, ads-b out, 8.33khz, mode S, FP-5, Aera500, SD on Nexus, SmartA3 325 hours & 6 years on the Mono, 930 total g(at)gdbmk.co.uk Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=477267#477267 ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 09:54:10 PM PST US Subject: Europa-List: Re: Water pipe replacement From: "Ivor" 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 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=477269#477269 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message europa-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Europa-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/europa-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/europa-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
