Had a bash at them tonight and they are a nightmare! I managed to snap of the end of the solenoid so I had to glue it, just hoping it will hold. Did you use glue to hold them on and if so what glue did you use? Senna mclaren mp4/4 build complete mp4/4 build http://forum.model-space...spx?g=posts&t=12029

I bet it was the same one I snapped. It was the lowest one that comes off at an angle, the last of the 4 hoses to put on? Senna mclaren mp4/4 build complete mp4/4 build http://forum.model-space...spx?g=posts&t=12029

Ian, your right, there was a lot! Dadokta, yes I'd wait until you're in a brave mood! Glad I got it out of the way although there is more to come I think. Senna mclaren mp4/4 build complete mp4/4 build http://forum.model-space...spx?g=posts&t=12029

davidyat here. I just finished the 8th packet and noticed you've done pack 9 and 10. Seeing the talk about putting on the hoses and snapping of plastic parts, and before I make the same mistake, are the hoses made out of rubber or soft plastic? If so, do you think soaking the ends of the tubes in hot water to soften them up make it easier to install and NOT have the prospect of snapping off plastic parts?

Ians idea of holding the ends against the radiator helped a bit. I think my problem was my modelling inexperience didn't help. Other people found it quite easy so it's probably more down to the individual. Senna mclaren mp4/4 build complete mp4/4 build http://forum.model-space...spx?g=posts&t=12029
