Many thanks everyone, one or two of the items look promising and I’ll investigate further. I’ve found another hose in my box of spares which is better than the one currently fitted, so I’m not stuck, but I will soon need a new one. It looks as if the radiator is not the correct one for the bike, the inlet on the rad is a good inch behind the outlet on the head and with very little space in between to connect the two. I seem to remember a washing machine part being used in the past so I might try that aspect also. Thanks again, I’ll report back in due course.
