Replacement Radiator Hose? was created by touringguy
Does anyone know of an common automotive radiator hose (that I could find at my local auto parts store) that I could cut down to make a new top radiator hose for my B2? One with roughly the right bend and internal diameter?

I just took the old piece in to the store and matched a piece with the same bend and cut it up.

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationNo eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationI used one of these:
?
(Link isn't showing in preview - eBay item 160604331016 )
You can probably buy them locally as well.
The bend isn't quite right but it does bend the extra amount without deforming.
I also bought a straight length but if I remember correctly one of the offcuts form the angle piece was long enough to make the lower straight connection too.
Only advise I would give is to cut them longer than the originals as mine came up a bit short. 5mm at each end would be good - you can always take more off!

Thanks, guys. I was able to quickly find a hose at the auto parts store (they let me go in back and look at their inventory) with just the right bend -- I cut it down and it worked like a charm!

re: Radiator Hose.

"M" is on the product lable - perhaps for application but I doubt it refers to "Motor Cycle". :lol:
