I’ve been searching for information on what hoses I need to install a 8ba in a 36. I’m hoping that someone has Gates parts numbers that will make this easy.
8ba Top 1.25” bottom 1.75”. 1936 radiator 1.75”.

I’m trying to hook this up without ordering anything but hoses.
Thinking of swedging up from 1.25 to 1.5 from the thermostat housing to 1.5 pipe and then swedging up to 1.75 hose to the radiator. I know I will not have much room.
I think if I had a 1.5” and a 1.75” short radius 90° elbow it would work. Anybody know how to get a gates part number for that?

The bottom hose would be 1.75 both ends I think

Does the 36 radiator mount on the forward or rear holes on the frame?
