HQ radiator into FB, what top hose?

[gareth]

Hey guys,

After mucking around with a bunch of crap FB radiators i noticed a HQ one at my local wrecker, A little modifying and it was in the FB.

I managed to use the bottom hose on the FB on the larger HQ bottom rad inlet using a unique combination of hot water and swear words, but i wondered what of the shelf hose might be suitable for the top hose?

Thanks in advance

Gareth

Gareth,

Bend up a bit of fencing wire to the same shape/length as you need it to be. If you're up the Blue Mountains way, take the wire in to Autobarn Penrith and ask for Lindsay - he'll sort you out a hose (worked the same way for my Chev/EK).

I have my bit of wire at the ready

Thanks a lot Harv

I fitted a HK radiator and hoses and had to do the same to the top hose.
