Its the last piece (I hope) that I am missing for my kit. The upper radiator hose, unless the bottom one also needs to be replaced, where can I get this hose from? Thank you in advance.

 

Anyone? I really need this info ASAP

 

Do you have a bad upper hose or are you looking for a spare?

I was concerned about the source of a spare hose if one is needed in the future. I spoke with Shad and he gave me a great fallback plan if mine ever fails. He suggested that a suitable replacement can be pieced together using two hoses if necessary. Just take your hose down to your local auto parts store and find a couple of hoses that get you from point A to point B with similar bends as the Comptech unit. You may need to splice the two together using a coupling pipe but you'll be back on the road.

 

i need it for my s/c install tonite

 

Fabricate as above or place a WTB in the black market. YOu can try calling Comptech tomorrow but I'm pretty sure that they're shut down. As far as I know, it's a custom piece.

 

It is a custom piece. I ordered an extra just incase mine fails. Find the guy who sold you the SC. Its most likely still on his car.

 

How much did the spare run you Jim?

 

damn it, i need this hose

 

no chance in hell you are going to find this hose by tonight, or next week for that matter. but i'm also interested in this as well. i've been trying to figure out what brand hose comptech uses.

i found this awhile ago and thought it might work:

I paid $32 for the $70 hose. Nate at Comptech hooked me up. It is a one off custom silicone hose. Your best bet is to track down previous owners aggressively or start fabricating a new piece. If they didn’t give you the hose, I bet they didn’t give you the Comptech Power steering reservoir bracket either. Better check. The guy I got mine from sent me the OEM bracket. I got two of those from Nate as well for $12 each.

 

yea, i didnt get the bracket either, or the over flow for the rad. but the overflow i can figure out, the bracket i can figure out, but this damn hose, i am trying to figure out. i found a compny here downtown that custom fabricates it. so i iwll go see them today

 

i deal direct with samco, but they wont have an application for my setup

 

thats not an application, just a 3.3" flexible hose. just need to get the right diameter.

 

or you could do this setup like CleanCL did....I"m lookin into this mod also

 

I still have mine son I can probably just sell you mine (its on the car now but that can be changed )

 

let me know, ill buy it, even as a spare. but i plan on finishing this up tonite. i found a hose, i will try out it tonite and see if it works.

as far as the flexible hose, is it designed to be able to flex without falling in on itself when it gets hot?

 

what is the bore size of radiator hose?

 

The ISD (Inside Diameter) of my Comptech radiator hose is 1-1/4".
