Molded Water Hose
Does anybody know of a site that has a good selection of molded water hose
(radiator style)? I'm trying to locate a tough piece for my '70 Interceptor Inboard. I found this site, but there's no specs... http://ebasicpower.american-data.net...ry_Code=MER14L Thanks!! |
Go down to your local autoparts store and take your hose. They most likely
can look at their selection and match up a workable piece. You may have to cut off some extra. wrote in message .. .

Now there's good advice! Go to the auto parts store, ask the busy parts counter guy to paw through every hose in the place, find one kinda-semi like the one you have, take it home and try it. You may have to go back a couple of times, but I'm sure the parts guy will love seeing you come in. Then you may get one similar, may have to kink it around corners, but, hey, there IS the possiblilty that it won't overheat! OR, you can get the correct hose for the application. |

I realize the autoparts store in your area dislikes you. But even Kragens / Shucks here will let you peruse there supply of hoses. Take the hose with you and match it to the ones on the wall. |

Hmm, let's see, thousands of applications, and they aren't on the wall. They are behind the counter, behind the wall, where parts stores have their parts. AND, you said HAVE THEM match one. Also, molded hoses have molded ends. You can't just go hacking it off where you want. Now, I ask, why not buy the hose intended for the application? |

Would you feel better about it if that person took Bill's advice and had a failure out in the middle of a big body of water, and a storm fast approaching? |

What is your problem? It is a water hose. Goe to the autoparts store and
ask to peruse their hoses. They will let you. It is not the bank where they donot let you behind the counter.

Sorry, didn't mean to start WWIII -
When I mentioned it was a "tough piece" to locate, I should have mentioned I'd already been to a few auto part stores. No luck. wrote in message .. .

I had the same problem. Used about 2/3rds of a hose they had to make the
bend part. "Douglas St. Clair" wrote in message .. .

Uh, why not get the correct hose for the application, to start with. Secondly, the portion of the hose that connects to the fitting is constructed differently than the *body* of the hose. |

Understood - I was able to find a partial piece of an existing hose to work
for one section. The one I can't find is a tight 180 degree turn... I can't find any "stock" radiator hoses with that tight of a radius. Oh well... Thanks "Bill McKee" wrote in message link.net...

Good luck to you.
