Going along with my last topic, when I overhaul/replace my radiator, I'll be replacing the hoses. My hoses actually look very good, but looks can be deceiving. I'd rather not go NOS if there is a current equivalent available. Does anyone have part numbers (NAPA?) for the 2 or 3 radiator hoses?
Thanks

Hi Warren,
The hoses are all straight, I dont have the sizes off the top of my head, but just measure the diameter and the lengths and they will just cut it off a roll. I dont think I would want 60 year old radiator hoses. If you want originality, get new hose and use the old wire clamps.

That's the reason I'm asking. I saw someone at Gilbert a few years back learn that when it comes to things like fan belts, rad hoses, etc NOS is fine if you are just going to move it from the trailer to the exhibition hall but if you're going to run it, go with new stuff for the important parts.

Warren,
If you don't go with the wire clamps I used the T-bolt hoseclamps, although not authentic, I like the look over a worm gear clamp.

Thanks David, I'll likely use the original clamps, but if I don't those look like a better choice than the worm gear ones.
