[Chevelle-List] Two threads in one: Radiator Hose and Boxed A-Arm pictures

Title: Message

I could have sworn I sent this from home last night, but maybe my send mail is screwed up there.  Anyhow, I got under the car this weekend and took some dirty pictures (of the A-Arm and radiator hoses - get your mind out of the gutter!).  You can click on any of the preview pictures and get to a 640x480 version. It looks like the A-Arm was reinforced with a 1/4 to 3/8 thick plate that was cut to shape and then welded in place.  They did not go all the ay out to the tip of the arm, just got most of the ball joint area and all the way back to the sway bar end link, which is also about half reinforced.  All the pictures are of the driver side A-Arm, with the camera about flat on the ground, so the aim is a bit off on some.  As you can see, I have not done any cleaning in a while... ttp://ep.com/brad/Chevelle/arm/ I think the radiator is a big block radiator, as the car is an SS396, although I have a 355 small block in there now.  I could not find much on the top hose, but I did get a number for the lower hose (Gates 20345).  It does look like both hoses have been shortened, so I could not tell you what the exact fit would be, if any.  Hopefully this helps. http://ep.com/brad/Chevelle/hosed/  Brad Waller '66 Convertible | 327/dead | 4-speed   | Wilwood Brakes | 245/45/16 BFGs '67 Chevelle    | ex-SS396 | 355/700R4 | '79 F-Body Brakes
