The custom Griffin Radiator is installed on the Camaro now but the bottow stock radiator hose kinks when installed because the bottom outlet (?) is bent at a 45 degree angle as upposed to the stocker. I am not comfortable with this kink and I am gonna snag some radiator hoses. For the top the stocker will work I am sure, but the bottom there must be one that will work. My good, knowledgable car guy I know said to take it to a good shop and get them to take out radiator hoses until you find one the shape of it and trim it if it is too long. Well I am gonna do this but I was wondering what bottom radiator hose other people used in this install? Like applications or pn...?

 

I did what your mechanic suggested, except I had the guys at Advance Auto pull the stock one, and then went through the other hoses until I found one with the same diameter ends and "about" the same length. The neck of the radiator is larger in diameter than the neck of the water pump, so you have to find a hose with two different diameter necks. If you're not in a huge hurry I can get you the part number of the one I used; it's a big beefy hose with the wire inside to prevent collapse.

Ya that is the one I seem to have gotten... it is a pretty good design I wish I had thought of it. Should go on without a hitch, but I think I forgot osme new hose clamps though... doh!

 

Dangit! The one I got is too long and it hitting the ilder arm pretty bad... doh!

 

Can you guys post th pat nmer pf the hose you used b/c I am having troubles with fitment too..and my tranny lines are in the way of the lower hose too Thanks

 

This may not be that much of a help..but what about those universal style hoses that look like they have big AN fittings on the end? not the ***** type that cover the hose to look like its real, but the actual flexable one? That would work right?

 

any one get any hoses to fit? any part numbers?

 

I'm installing one of those radiators this weekend. If nobody posts the P/N to the hoses, I will doit after I'm done

 

are you talkin about the hoses? if so yes please do post part numbers for the hoses, that would be really really help full right now.
