Radiator hose
Does anyone know a supplier of radiator hoses please? I'm after an upper hose for a small block.
Re: Radiator hose
I was lucky enough to get a Top hose from John Woolfe Racing - in stock.
Try the usuals: US Automotive, Customville, and then Rock Auto.....

Re: Radiator hose
You may want to give me your part number Mark, I have a C Body radiator in my RR and had a hell of a job finding the right hoses for it,consequently I have a few random ones spare.
Re: Radiator hose
Hi Stewart,
I ordered one this morning. Thanks very much for the offer.

Re: Radiator hose
The hose arrived this morning and it's 1 1/2 inches shorter than the one I've removed. Once secured to the engine, there's a 1 1/2 inch distance to the radiator. It's pre shaped and has got a kink in it where it returns to the engine.
I've managed to force the hose on and it seems to be ok. Is it normal they're short? Do they stretch over time?
Thanks.

Re: Radiator hose
I had to cut mine down, but it is a Big Block Car; no, they don't stretch...
Ensure there is enough length with the engine moving on its mountings....

Re: Radiator hose
Only ever had to cut down, doesn’t sound like the right part to me.
24 hours in a day, 24 beers in a case. Coincidence? I think not…

Re: Radiator hose
Don’t stretch it Mark,think you knew that. Send me a picture and some measurements and I’ll check my stock…
Re: Radiator hose
Got it from Rock Auto, it's model specific and it's supposed to fit.
Cost £60 include postage.

Thanks Stewart, it should be around 22" inches in length.Captain Chaos wrote: ↑Fri Sep 02, 22 5:36 pm Don’t stretch it Mark,think you knew that. Send me a picture and some measurements and I’ll check my stock…

Re: Radiator hose
I’d check they’ve sent you the right part. Does it measure the same as quoted? That’s the same as I last ordered from them, for a 360 Challenger and I had to cut it down.

Re: Radiator hose
It was only $10 last I bought one and about $15 shipping for that and a bundle of other bits. Shows what has happened with shipping of late!

Re: Radiator hose
Random.
Maybe they built the 69 models with a 2” longer front.
