GoGoGo Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 I searched the forum but couldn't find what I was looking for which is basically this. Besides NOS are there any aftermarket upper and lower radiator hoses for a 1971 510 (L20B and stock radiator) that's fit off the shelf and don't require a "cut to fit"? Thank you in advance!

banzai510(hainz) Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 rockauto.com has this O rileys or a good autoparts store will have Gates hoses. This is a common part. also you should go to dealer and get spare heater hoses also. the S and the long one to heater core from engine bay Quote Link to comment
GoGoGo Posted November 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 Yeah I found the gates on rockauto already but the upper is still cut to fit. If that is the only option then I don't mind cutting it carefully. Just thought a perfect fit would look better than my job. Will ask the dealer about those hoses. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 they are preformed hoses and should fit . Maybe the upper might be slightly to long. Its a slight S shape. there are the Acordian/Slinky type hoses but I dont buy those ones Quote Link to comment
Stoffregen Motorsports Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 Cut to fit isn't a problem. Just use a really sharp knife or a utility knife with a good blade. Scissors does not work well and dull knives make the cut shabby. I cut hoses all the time and they look fine. Quote Link to comment
tr8er Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 I got a set off eBay several weeks ago. Perfect fit. Cheap. Easy. Quote Link to comment
