Default Re: Do modern style thermostats work in 59 stylle heads?

Bummer the good hose isn't available.

You can take a short length of smaller diameter radiator hose that is a tight fit into the not flared hose and use that to retain the thermostat. Use a second hose clamp to help keep the inner hose from moving.
