lower radiator hose
I had to shift the engine over aprox 1/2 inch to clear the PS box. Now the lower radiator hose doesn't line up very well. I have the stock hoses on, but don't like the fit. In an attempt to purchase 1 3/4 X 8 inch flex hoses, I find then impossible to find. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Re: lower radiator hose
Summit Racing has a Dayco universal hose that is 1 3/4" X 8 5/8". The Dayco number is 81291. They are $9.97 each. I hope this helps Ol' Ron. This stuff is getting harder to find.
And they show it being in stock, too. http://www.summitracing.com/search/b...=1&N=401737%2B

Re: lower radiator hose
Well I have to thank youse guys for coming through for me. I know it wasn't just because I have bad eyesight, I had help from several people with very good vision. I think the problem is with the webs sited and their search feachers. I had gone to Summit and never saw the hoses the offered, another problem is they may give the length in the photo they don't give the dia. you have to search for it. The same goes for all the auto suppliers.. I will also check the Merd lower hoses as well
By the way, I may be going in for a Cataract operation in December. Not sure if that will help Macular degeneration, but I'll take it. |

Re: lower radiator hose
Had the cataract surgery in both eyes. Easy surgery (out patient) and a wonderful outcome. Good luck!

Re: lower radiator hose
your funny Ron! I think you do good on computer. my eyes are messed up. the doc says that I would be a good for laser surgery, but i still would need glasses for reading. the type of work I do I would be taking them off and on all the time, Electrician, plus they keep stuff out of my eyes

Re: lower radiator hose
Carquest 21236 radiator hose, it is a moulded hose, and it has a spot in it that has the right jog. Just cut off the part you need. Worked great for my AV8.

Re: lower radiator hose
Good luck with the cataract surgery Ol Ron. My wife had it done a few years back and it made a big improvement in her vision. I wonder now why she is still with me now that she can see.

Re: lower radiator hose
Ron, try not to use those flex hoses, they put a lot of pressure on the radiator outlets, ive had then crack the soldered joints at the radiator tanks, the flex hose when bent to fit the radiator is always trying to straighten out and putting pressure on the outlets

Re: lower radiator hose
I went to my friendly NAPA store and got the "formed" offset lower radiator hoses made by Goodyear! They should work perfect for you I think.

The Carquest ones I have work good, but make sure your belt is tight, mine got a little loose and the slop was just enough to start cutting into the bottom hose. Not a problem if belt is adjusted properly. I'm just wondering if the NAPA ones have more offset. |
