Superfreak pump seal

I also had the corroded cooling tubes on my Tem built carbon freak...Rather than cutting the tray open to replace them, I just inserted a flexible nylon tube through each cooling line....the straight tube takes two mins, but one which crosses over from right to left needed some grease and I attached a wire to it and pulled it through from the engine bay side....whole job took 30 mins.....and the water flow is as powerful as before on both lines.

Is there anything special about this nylon tubing?
 
No not at all......the outer diameter of the tubing i bought is a hair less than the aluminium tubes ID and the sidewall thicknesss is around 1 mm, but its fairly stiff, (can be coiled without kinking) so can be pushed through the aluminium without bending, or thread a wire through each tube from the engine bay side and attach to nylon tubing and pull through. Any place that sells piping, tubing, hosing, etc will have something that works....very cheap and permanent fix. I also tightened my hose clamps onto the nylon tubing as well as the aluminium tubing each end to ensure no seepage can occur between the tubes and into the tray well area. The nylon tubing extends roughly 3 cm past each end of the aluminium tubing. So I use two hose clamps for each end

Great info. Thanks!
