Replacement Radiator Hose?

10 years 1 month ago

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.

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.

GOODYEAR #61028 will provide both.

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