Post by: FC_fer_me on August 30, 2012, 05:48:43 PM I did what Fred said with the wire and took it into Supercheap, they had a shelf full of loose hoses and I rummaged thru them til I found something to suit. I ended up using a Nissan Pintara R31 hose( Mackey # CH1564) but I have a HQ radiator so may be different for you. Hope this helps, Cheers, Jack
