Radiator hoses
I want to change out my radiator hoses but just want to purchase them from a local auto store. I have the lengths from the regulars.....snyders... but nobody lists the I D.
I was looking to buy before I remove, but can not find a site or previous threads that has that size. Can anybody give me the I D to all 3 hoses Thanks Tom Also can someone supply the nearest club to the Westchester area just north of NYC |

Re: Radiator hoses
Bottom two hoses are 1 3/4" and the top hose is 2" ID. You'll probably pay more at the local stores because they sell straight hose by the INCH, and it ain't cheap.
I'd buy from the dealers. |

Re: Radiator hoses
You'll be glad you made the right choice. I usually look through the catalogs to see what else I need to help offset the shipping.
I also put vaseline on the inside of the hose and on the inside of the clamps. The hoses will install and be removed easier this way, and the clamps can better seat around the hose without bunching the rubber. |
