The rad fits great but only problem i have is the upper rad hose neck has a 45% bend to the outside of the veh making the stock hose have a pretty tight bend to it. What hose have people used to correct this?

Imagine the wire is running down the center of the hose. Then go to an auto parts store and look for a close match. Remember you can trim the ends, you'll be looking for a hose with the correct bends. Shouldn't be too hard.

What hose have people used to correct this? What is the radiator off of? What sort of hose shape did it have? I have a 3-row radiator in my '85 and it has a straight top hose fitting: Maybe have a radiator shop cut off the old fitting and solder/braze on a straight one? r.c.brown@ieee.org TruckEditor@tlca.org Project: 4Crawler 4Crawler OffRoad - 4x4Wire discount code Re: Upper rad hose [Re: 4Crawler] #879941 04/13/08 01:47 AM Joined: Dec 2004 Posts: 143 Terrace, BC S salvo OP Wheeler ya i think thats what m going to have to do it get a strait one put on it ....
