MG MGF Technical - Details: Cooling pipes

Hi,

During one of the winter months I am planning to change some pipes of the MGF cooling circuit.

Dieter published a very interesting picture for this job: http://www.mgfcar.de/hose_clamp/coolant.jpg
but I need more information.

Could anyone provide me with more info (scanned, faxed pages of the workshop manual). I am especially looking for dimensions of the pipes and an indication if they are easy to reach.

I wanna be prepared for the next Treffen/nefferT ;-)

c ya,
Erik

Does it make more sense, if you change 'pipes' for 'hoses' in the text above ?

;-)
Erik

Err, if you had said that 4 weeks ago .... ;)
I've still loads of that different clamps in the cellar. May be I need to start another ebay auction to get rid of them.
The drawn measures are right. I measured myself and errors are excluded. But the affiliated numbers and counts are not approved. If that all would be mentioned in the manual, then the webside would be correct. :)

Anyway, it's no easy job to replace them all without access on a high workshop jack.
Did that changes only at the IMO most important big hose connections below the car and the upper clamps in the engine bay. Radiator only the lower and at any time I'll do the other. BTW I left the cheapish old clamps on the hoses beside the new, lack of good nippers to cut them.

Before I get scalped ;)
Mike has similar clamps as a kit.... Made in England !!

I think you will have no chance ?
*Lucas* may find another most mad fault 4you ;-)
