#1 Bottom Radiator Hoses - One instead of two?
Posted: Sun Nov 05, 2017 1:09 pm
Hi all, I have just replaced all my cooling system hoses, including the two lower radiator ones (C29642 and C29643) which are joined by a connecting pipe C29644.
However, the old hose that I removed was a single piece hose that connected the radiator to the water pump, so I had to manufacture my own connecting pipe as an short-term measure to use the two new hoses.
Has anyone heard of this single hose as a direct replacement for the two piece arrangement? Or has my car's previous owner just found a lucky alternative that has coincidentally fitted.
Also, as per other threads on this forum, the kit that I purchased did not include C31059 (Inlet Manifold to Firewall heater connection). Is the any other supplier of this item, other than Norman Motors?
Regards, Steve
