Lower radiator hose

I am missing the S shaped metal lower radiator fitting that runs up to the water pump and connects the two with small hose pieces at each end.

Are these hard to find ? I've tried Kevin Kronlund and a couple others to no avail...any help locating one would be appreciated

Manny Rogers had some. You can use a regular ribbed flexible hose in place of those 3 pieces

Thanks for that infromation and I will give him a shot.

My next thought was to use the flex if the OEM piece was to hard to find....I am so new at this and I am still learning what parts and pieces are easy to find and one that are very hard to locate....but thats the fun of it! kind of like a everyday treasure hunt

G'day from Australia! I have replacement lower radiator hoses in stock. About $20.00 each. They are formed in the same shape as the metal tube was. I do not have any of the original lower metal bends, and it is near impossible to have them made today......believe me, because I have tried and tried! Hope this helps mate! Ross
