I have not had any luck finding a lower radiator hose that will work. I got close with a recommendation from the Gates representative, but the hose was slammed against the timing cover, so it would not have been long until a hole wore into it. I tired the flex hose with a spring, but it collapsed where it made the turn. I'm not sure how I will find a hose that will work. I've tried like five hoses and had to return them all. Very frustrating.
