I have had a bear of a time finding radiator hoses. I have searched through all my local auto parts stores with some measurements and sketches of what I need. Nothing doing on the upper hose. I found something that worked for the lower hose, but had to cut it and mess around with it to make it work.
I ended up using one of those stainless flex hose kits for the upper. I had it laying around as I bought a few sets of those when they were on blowout for $5. Kind of makes me wonder how good they are... This is the first time I have actually tried one. It fits on fine, but I am really concerned with it leaking or slipping at the worst moment. I am kind of sketched out by the design. Hopefully some of you can calm my fears on these things...
