Upper Radiator hose for 20vt converted car?

BLT4SPD · 12-16-2008, 06:56 AM

Let's say you have a type 85 with a 3B in it. Let's say that you needed an upper radiator hose for said car. You don't want/have an after-run pump and you don't want to order anything from Europe. What do you do?

I COULD go to my local FLAPS and root through their selection of rad hoses and find something that will work, but I would RATHER have a more "elegant" solution and one that can be re-orderable by part number in the future.

Suggestions?

It was inexpensive, and it fit with minor modification. I may have had to make it a little shorter (don't remember), and it doesn't line up 100%, but it's not kinked.

And it fit with little modification. I will take a picture tonight and post it up here.
