Upper rad/hose with 4-core question
I was having trouble with my 406 overheating so I ordered a 4-core radiator. The radiator shop added the heater return nipple for me..
When I put it in place I noticed the TPI radiator hose (end) won't fit... the 4-core has a larger diameter inlet, I could splice in a larger secion of hose with a tube inside and use 2 hose clamps but I was wondering if anyone has a part number of a hose that might work?
I don't really want to use flex hose if I can help it.. I could always pull it back out and have the radiator shop install a smaller inlet but wanted to hear if anyone else has had this problem and what hose they used..
