Upper radiator hose options?
 
When I originally built ERA 469 I used a hose from the expansion tank to the radiator that is no longer available. I substituted in a similar one, but it is bigger in diameter and at the clamp ends and wants to rub on several things on its way. I have seen ERA cars with a 90 degree steel or aluminum tube, and just rubber clamped a the ends. Is this a tube I can buy from ERA, or where do you get it? Recommended hose PN's for the ends would be appreciated also.

3500 miles and still going strong!

Thanks.

The setup with the intermediate tube requires a radiator with a different upper hose fitting orientation. Our 90-degree connector would have to be shortened, and you'd still need a short angled hose to go to the radiator.

Gates 20819 will fit your car, and is currently available.
