Folks Of Interest S shaped lower rad hoses

has anybody purchased these from the fella in Finland?

How's the fitment?

Is this legit?

 

No link or picture.

 

Yep, fit well!

 

I can understand getting a radiator hose fronm Finland if you live in that area but here in the States you shouldn't have a problem finding a S shaped lower radiator hose. HRP

 

They're specially made for flathead V8 conversions, due to the close quarters and height difference it's proven hard to get the right hose.

I pretty much want to make sure this is legit before I send payment

 

Thanks Chris

 

Anybody else??? Says he's sold **** loads of them,,, kind of eludes to selling lots here on the HAMB

 

I bought some local based off another thread on here I think ford 300 six pickup

 

When you live here in the states buying a radiator hose from Finland is just plain stupid!

 

Bjr..

Not really my man.... It's one thing to take a chance buying something for the sole purpose or re purposing it....

Or buying something that's been designed for a specific application

The question wasn't your opinion but more of a..... has anybody done business with this guy.

 

I saw his threads on here and ford barn with a handful of people who liked them so yes would be your answer

 

I know it sounded insulting, I did it for effect, but I just meant with all the info and suppliers here in the USA suppling the collector/custom/rod/ old cars, I just don't see the need to go over seas to get a radiator hose. So if you took offense, I apologies.

 

Naaa, not offended at all.

Lower close quarter hoses on these cars have been a pesky problem for builders. One solution was the cast aluminum offset outlet type... Couldn't find those anywhere.

I know there's a few modern hoses that work with a few inches trimmed.

I spoke to the seller and he sells a lot in the U.S..... Sells to Don Orosco and a few other notable names.

The hoses he sells are engineered for this application, I just don't have time to mess with trial and error at this point, there's a thousand other things I need to do on the car for ROG.

Thanks for all your input.

For the price I could probably spend some time in the back rooms of a couple of parts houses here locally and maybe throw away the mistakes. I have the time to do that although finding something that is engineered to fit could be well worth the time and headaches saved.
I would like to see some honest feedback on the hoses from some of the folks who use them though.

 

Peter,

Try MEC, (330) 644-3450, modelengineeringco.com for the cast aluminum offset outlet. Please let us know what you find.
