Just measure the diameter needed and go get a flexible hose the proper length at the parts house.
The bottom hose can be a little tricky. I recently got one that had the right "bend" in for my 37 and then cut it the right length. At first I tried a flexible hose but it kinked as it is very short for my application. (350 in my 37 with the radiator as close to fan as possible.)
So, I ended up getting a hose with the right "bend" in it and cut it to length. Be sure to cut it a little long to begin with because when you slide it up onto the "necks" it will need to be about and inch or two longer than you think!!!
NOTE: since the bottom hose with the bend in it had no wire in it like the flexible hose I pulled the wire out of an old flexible hose I had and cut it to length and stuffed it down in the new hose with the bend. That way I know the molded hose will not completely ever collapse!
Just hope this helps in some way....... also know I bought, and took back 4 hoses before I got the one I needed!!! | | |
