Never heard of them, what are they for and what do they do?

Steve you use them to create a good flexible seal, and more ristant than silicone and pipe clips.

The Wiggins W900 rigid tube connector range has evolved from over 50 years’ experience designing aerospace flexible tube connectors allowing instant, reliable quick disconnection of rigid air or liquid tubing. These connectors are invaluable for race teams requiring fast engine & transmission changes and also for dynometer rooms.

• Up to 8° of angular misalignment and up to 1/4” of axial travel, therefore serving as vibration isolators.
• Available for a rigid tube size range from 1/2” to 3” O.D.
• Maximum operating pressure 125psi, proof pressure 250psi, burst pressure 375psi.
• Maximum working temperature 450°F (depending on O-ring seal compound)

He's a cyclist. Won 2 Olympic medals. Missed out on a third in the Madison as he and Cavendish have the combined tactical prowess of a hat stand

Not sure what you would 'use' him for though Ah, unless he was connected to a generator and told to pedal or suffer

Are they expensive James?

Perhaps a nice alternative to Mikalores which in my experience don't seal very well and can deform steel and alloy pipes quite a bit

[Ross]

Those look pretty good, guess if you had the metal piping made up it would be a cure for all future boostleaks and you could run 20bar of boost without problems

Pretty heavy duty I'd say, and I bet that shows in the price.

Some £120+ a pice but they last a life time

Edit!!

£150 with weld on flanges and 30% trade discount

Note for 2.5"

Flippin hell that's expensive! Do you think they'd do one with 60-70mm step-down for an invincible mark-H mod

I guess by re-working the intake with a reverse IM, you'd only need a few for the pressure side. My main concern would be how much flex was needed for IC - intake piping... would want solid mounts I imagine!

i'd say thats pretty dam good.... I have solid mounts to, but the more you have the more movement you can take. also another option is to use a humped silicone hose at one end

Agree, over a couple of connectors I guess you've got more flexiblity you'd need. Si has clearly been on the booze today, in his state I bet he'd hump your silicone hoses for you

[driftin jo]

So there is a couple of grands worth on that v8 there then.

FPMSL!

@ Joe, I suspect there is more around the car

[Error404]

feckin jeebus!! Yer, thats quite a bit - i think i might stick with the cheaper Mikalores and hose clips until my numbers come up
