Re: Lower Radiator hose???



A: Mark, get ahold of a NAPA hose book and there are some dual sized hoses. 
Another way around this is to get 1 hose the size of the largest one and 
insert a piece of hose on the outlet the other end goes onto. (I have even 
used duct tape to build up the fitting!)

Subject: Lower Radiator hose???

I've got a problem.
I need to know what others have used for a lower radiator hose on their 
Ramblers.
I have the 91 Wrangler water pump and am trying to get it connected to the 
stock American radiator. I made a hose from several I had that will work 
except it is cut in places it can't be spliced with a metal tube. I then 
took it to a parts store and we dug through every hose they had trying to 
match it up. No luck. Since the hose is 1 3/4" on one end and necks down to 
1 1/2" on the other it makes it real hard to come up wiht candidates. Non of 
the flex hoses they had are differnet sizes they are all straight tubing. I 
thought of going with a chrome flex, but don't really like the look.
  So far I've tried the stock 69 American hose, A 91 Wrangler hose, 97 
Cherokee XJ hose, 65 Ambassador 327 hose.
   Anyone have any other ideas?????
I will try other parts stores whne I get a chance, but time is hard to come 
by this time of year.
