Top Radiator Hose

[Guest andrewbricknell]

Hi every one

 

I recently changed the position of my radiator in to the cowling on my 3a and fitted an electric fan, I thought it was an excellent job but I am not happy with the cooling and want to put it back to original with the mechanical fan.

 

Only thing is I modified the top hose to extend it, is the original from a Sierra or another vehicle, the rad looks more like a Cortina job, I think its a RH rad

 

Thanks all

It does not ring any bells, pretty sure it never had that 180 degre bend, just a 90 degre ish bend off the thermostate housing and then a kink to the right up to the rad spigot.

 

I will have a look Saturday. I can make it fit with some hose and ali tube I used to move it in the first place.

 

Thanks

Hi Andy,

 

I purchsed a universal hose from Halfrauds. They have a selection of lengths and widths to suit your needs.

 

Cheers

I found one in an auto store, can't remember what it was now but I just took the old one in & matched it up... I think it may well have been cortina, certainly wasn't Sierra.
