Post by antsarooney »

Hey guys wondering about custom radiator hoses and who if anyone makes them.
I need them to be different sizes at each end and wondering what my options are.

just go into a store that has a decent array and sift through them.. even get two ends that are suffice and work out the two halves of the pipe so to speak, then join them with a piece of pipe as if it were sleeved.. if ya have troubles with the one size to another (if ya cant find a pipe that reduces etc) then the joining metal 'sleeve' can be taken to an exhaust shop and they'll stretch it out to match your needs..

sometimes ya gotta do what ya gotta do..

if you can understand my engrish..? :D

I agree with nibz, but also silicone hoses have a huge range of different sized hoses, bends and reduces.

Tires are like boobs, they always look big until you have played with them for a while, then you just want a bigger set.
