vettespeed Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 Looking for molded heater hoses for my 1966 520 pickup. I actually still have the original braided hoses on it and want to put new ones on to keep it reliable. Where do I find new molded hoses? I found the long hose for a 521, is it the same? Here's a picture of it: Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 #27021 B2000 for the 521 The earlier 520 was #27061 14800. The numbers are not even close yet they look the same in the diagrams. Use gear clamps in case they are slightly different diameter? Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 You can get brand new braided hoses from Nissan, they fit perfect and are a different size than aftermarket generic heater hose (although that will work too). Not sure if they have 520 hoses, but they have them for my 1972. My braided heater hoses are still going strong after 39 years! The larger radiator hoses were replaced long ago. Quote Link to comment

Just stopped by the local Nissan dealer and they say no heater hoses still available, also no radiator hoses. If you find a dealer that says otherwise please pass that along. On a side note, they did still have the interior shift boot available. Thanks. P.S. My original braided radiator and heater hoses are all still there and working fine also, I just don't trust them.
