Radiator Hoses

[geodon]

As one would expect, with motor conversions, you don't just buy hoses off the peg!

This is how I did mine.

The top hose is very easy! Just a right angle bend.

The bottom was a cow!

Eventually, I found a hose that gave me what I needed: 2 right angles & a bit of straight. I supplemented it with a right angle & a length of straight in 40mm copper from the local plumbing supplies. It's from a 4 liter Ford Falcon van or ute. The number is on the photos.

It's damn close to one of the mounting boilts on the timing gear cover but if it doesn't touch, 1mm is as good as a metre! Time will tell.

Damn! I don't know why the photos are small! Try right click then select "open in new window".
