After the previous discussion on cooling, I decided to install a larger
radiator in my TR3A. I'm using a commodity crossflow radiator, which
goes across the entire opening between the fenders. I've got the thing
mounted, but I'm having trouble with the plumbing. The radiator inlet
is 1 1/2 inch and the outlet is 1 3/4, which are standard sizes.
However, the Triumph pump inlet and engine outlet are 1 3/8 inch, which
is an odd size. Hoses are available in 1 3/8, but I can't find tubing
with 1 3/8 O.D. I was thinking that if I could find exhaust pipe in 1
3/8 inch, I could have the ends of it expanded at a muffler shop. Does
anyone know where I can find pipe or tubing in this size?
Thanks,
Larry Young
