You should also check the bend radius of the hose everywhere. For every hose, there is a minimum bend radius; bends sharper than this produce stresses that may be higher than the hose is designed ot take. Every hose manufacturer publishes the minimum bend radius right along with the max working pressure. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
