Wrong shape of pipe from water pump to boiler  Empty Wrong shape of pipe from water pump to boiler

Hi I wonder if anyone can help me with the copper pipe which runs from the water pump to the check valve on the boiler.  My pipe has a double bend initially from the water pump which takes it behind the top gear rather than on top of it. No way the gear can go on and traction world support said try bending the pipe. On the instructions, the picture is showing the pipe going straight from the water pump the one bend taking it down close to the steering shaft. I did dry and alter the shape but was so messed up now back to scratch with a new one which is exactly the same as my original one. Please let me know how you have got on. Paul

Hi Paul,

I do not have a picture of the complete installation of the pipe at Pied Piper but I can confirm that on PP the pipe is mounted exactly as pictured in the instructions page 3 of Kit 25 referring to the fly hweel brake. I know it‘s a task to get it in, especially with everything else fitted but it works. I usually thread it in from the pump side (i.e. rear), inwards of the steering shaft and the small shaft for cylinder draing and with a bit of wiggling it fits.

Sorry for the quick answer, hope it helps just the same.
