CorkSport SRI help

[DiegoRF]

well, I am about to install it one of these days but I have a cuestion about the double ended barbed fitting, The photo says it all, is this ok? cause i try to push it hard but I cant. and neither can take it off.

SHOuld be fine unless you're super concerned about cosmetics. If it wont move in or out it's probably got a pretty solid seal. I had difficulty with that fitting too.

Silicone always works for working with hoses.

Silicone spray does the trick on those nipples.....

I have installed it already, but I used the stock hoses because I dont know how to put that little circuncerence from the corksport hoses on the bigger stock ones, what can i use, options? Im newly.

I used my stock hoses too. It's been a couple thousand miles now and everything is perfect.

I had a similar problem with the barbed fitting, but was able to twist and push it enough to eventually get it all the way seated. It was a freakin' b*tch though. As for the other CS supplied hoses, I couldn't for the life of me get those damn hoses on anything, but then when I called Corksport out of pure desperation, Derrick told me to chew hard on the end of the hose (I used my molars) for a few seconds and try it again. It worked like a charm - they didn't go on "easy" per se, but it was then at least possible to get them on to all the places they were supposed to go.

i had the same issues.. i had to call corksport to ask. In the end, i used a little bit of wd40 and it helped A LOT at getting the hoses on. any auto store will have a lube for the hoses.. i learned too late. I asked if I could reuse the factory hoses instead of the supplied ones and they said they didnt see why not. You should be fine.

getting the blue hoses to fit on some of those plug things was a pain but its possible.
