Thanks @RADHAUS for offering this kit (and of course to @Santirx for all your efforts)… is there any chance you can ship to Canada? I don’t see any shipping options outside the US on your website.
Canadian orders enabled :)
 
Hey everyone,

I wanted to share my experience fixing the burst coolant pipe issue, following Santrix’s advice (huge thanks to him for the great videos and guidance!). I made a slight variation on the parts typically used, so hopefully, this helps others considering the repair.

Parts Used:

HPS Silicone Coolant Hose – Ordered directly since Amazon was out of stock.

Dorman Clamps (800-312) – Needed 6 clamps, but these are sold in 5-packs, so I grabbed two.

Billet Aluminum T from Vargas Turbo – Excellent quality and correct size. I also considered an oversized T, but this one worked great.

95B122447E Hose – Used this to harvest the 45-degree connector, which fits the new front routing path of the tubing better than the original 90-degree rear-connecting design. This is the same part as the upper hose on the valve.


Everything went smoothly, and the new setup feels more robust than the OEM parts. Hopefully, this helps anyone else tackling the same issue. Let me know if you have any questions!

Cheers

@ShadowMacan From where You get head connection (I mean part which should be putted into opening in each of heads). Did You use ends from original damaged pipes or it could be bought separately?
I know Santrix have one made from metal, but cost with delivery is ridiculous for me ;) Or maybe someone have exact drawing of this part then it could be even easier to prepare it.
I found some cheap pipes on china pages (~10 dollars) so maybe I buy one to check how it handle, but if there is any possibility it will be better.
 
PM me for the drawings. I've had a couple of them made from 3D printed 7075 aluminum. total price shipped to me in Canada was $50/pair. Clean up the O-ring groove a bit with a 3m cloth before using and you get a nice shiny finish.

It's harvested from a new standard plastic pipe part. Radhaus already produced a metal piece. The effort of remaking their project probably isn't worth it. You can 3D scan the plastic piece and CAD model a part if you really wanted.

I have the CAD models in whatever form you want. Re-creating the part already done.

How would I be able to obtain a set like these? I haven’t ordered anything 3d printed before, let alone an aluminum print.

Would you be willing to share the info to duplicate the order? (I see the drawings above but don’t know how to get that printed, or if that’s enough information.)

I would appreciate it if you would also send me info getting these in Canada. How have they been holding up? Did you have to source O-rings as well? Is it easy to get it shiny? Thanks
 
@Santirx Just to confirm, would you say that this bypass can be done without removing the manifold and by perhaps pulling out the old line once replaced?
Correct. Is all detailed in my video:

I don't recall how long it was, but I bought a 1.5m length, cut the two small pieces off and then trimmed it to fit at the valve and there was some left over.
