I took some list advice and simply begged a parts guy to go in the back and find me a hose to work. He brought back 3, 2 of which I purchased. He assured me they were 1 3/4" diameter. When i got it home and measured they were both 1 1/2" diameter. Not a problem. Persistance will MAKE it fit. The other side was 1-1/2" anyhow. I just didn't have to fit the down-sizer on that side.
Using a solid copper bend would have made the bend too close to the alternator. I needed a rubber bend to immediately turn 90 degrees to the thermostat housing from the radiator. But thanks for the idea, Joe. I hope to have pics soon. But I'm still contemplating how/where to install the stainless overflow tank and fabricate the new radiator support rods. Thanks for the advice, everybody. Now that it's snowing, I'm really glad that I've installed an Aluminum radiator. It's just what the car needed in 30 deg temps. -Terry /// [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list /// Send admin requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] /// or try http://www.team.net/cgi-bin/majorcool /// Archives at http://www.team.net/archive /// Send list postings to [EMAIL PROTECTED] /// Edit your replies!
