Default Need info on original S/C radiator hoses
I'm doing my best to have a "reasonably authentic" 427 s/c build starting with a Factory Five. My question: in the original S/C cars were the radiator hoses rubber (smooth or convoluted flexible) or mandrel bent aluminum? I have looked at some pics of what appear to be original cars and I think the aluminum (or aluminized) are correct. Then 3-4" rubber couplers. Am I correct here? For both upper and lower hoses?
My routing will be custom of course to fit my FE with Ron Davis radiator. But I would like to use the correct material to advance the correct 'look'.
Many thanks for your responses
Best
Ron
