Re: cooling pipes in the car?

somewhere in the rules it says they have to be covered.

Re: cooling pipes in the car?

3.19: Fuel, Oil, and Coolant Lines in the Cockpit: Any fuel, oil, or coolant lines that pass through the driving compartment must be encased by heavy-duty conduit, durable steel or aluminum pipe, or strong metal plate. OE metal lines in good condition in their original location are exempt from this rule, but encasement is still recommended.

Not sure it you will have to double contain the metal pipe.  You will probably have to do something around the fittings if they are in the cockpit. 

When in doubt, email Nick.

Ya I just found that rule the only joint inside is covered by a tin shield and is way in the back. I was hoping we would be ok.

Re: cooling pipes in the car?

OK, so what are some legal, safe and approved materials/methods for running coolant through the passenger compartment?
What options do we have?
