The newer year rads had slightly larger openings so most replacements seem to follow that. The lower stock hose worked fine but I had to shop around a little for a section of hose that worked for the top. A local FLAPS took the old upper hose and compared it to a bunch of hoses they had in stock and found one that worked.

ebay special, and the proper replacement
