Where To Buy Radiator Hose?

[RA28GT]

My bottom radiator hose is cracked on my ke20, i went down to my local parts shop and they said they are not made anymore for my car. Surely these can be brought from somewhere? Or is there another thats a close fit?

hey man take the old hose off and take it to your local auto 1 or somewhere like that. thats where i get all mine from

and if the fails then you can goto malz, they have every radiator hose i could think of, or if you need it asap get some pipe and some pipe bender (looks like a spring with a bar ot metal on the side) and make your own :)

ke30-55 should be a good match even a ke70 hose would fit if you trimmed it.

Come and see me at work tomorrow morning Troy. I'll PM you my work number.

 

We'll see if we can get a close enough match and I'll do you a good price :)

Yea it is starting to get hard to find consumables for the old girls.

 

Not sure on the ke20's, but with my ke15 I used a ke30 bottom hose. I cut and shut it using a bit of metal pipe in the middle with a couple of extra hose clamps. The upper ke30 hoses also work great with a bit of trimming.

Yeah go an see Raven. Been to his work place a couple of times and they have always come through with either the right part or a suitable replacement. :)

Whilst doing an engine conversion i stumbled across these.

VULCOFLEX

 

They come in varying lengths and Internal Diameters. Generally about $15 each and can be bent into any shape that the original hose was shaped to.

 

I got mine from an industrial hose and pipe shop (they are a GATES brand), however i know for a fact that you can order them from most auto parts shops aswell.
