Coolant Tubes and Soft Hoses

You have to cut the pipes under the car to get them out…

Gates hoses are the correct hoses to use..

you need two sizes.. Measure the pipes you have to find the correct ID for them.. or call

they probably can send you all the Gates hoses already cut for usage

and please double clamp them..

Here’s what I did

Lined hose clamps are definitely without a doubt required with silicone hoses. I do not believe they are of any vital importance with traditional hoses like gates green stripe.

I would suggest re-tightening all clamps after a couple hundred miles of driving

The short hose connection to the water pump requires 1-3/4" ID hose.

All of the other hose connections are 1-3/8".

...you can slide the Tubes forward if you Cut the Forward tube 'Mount', to move the tubes Down and forward. No need to chop the Tube itself. Don't want to cut the mount, then you will cut the tube, the one whole tube, the other is already in halves...or wait until the Engine is removed, to remove and install tubes from the rear.

I use to provide the Stainless Tubes cut to 5 Foot Lengths (or was it 6 feet?), until shipping became too restrictive. Yes, the Diameter is 1-3/8".

I advise 2 clamps at Each Hose End. Stay away from Silicone Hose!! Gates 'Green-Stripe' is what You want. You should be able to find it at most 'NAPA' auto supply houses.

P.S. I also, used to work at the Norton Factory in Hayward, CA. Norton 'Hold Fast' Clamps. 25 Years. We Invented the 'Liner Clamp'! Among other Special Clamps. All were Stainless Steel. I personally Assembled over a Million Clamps and Couplings!!

You may find these Gates preformed hose sections handy.

The larger is 22147. 1-3/8" diameter and will provide two nice 90* segments, one with a convenient offset tail. They have worked well for me making connections at the under car pipes in lieu of some of the short pre bent SS sections.

The smaller size is 28471. It has a tight preformed 90* end that is perfect for the tight 90*s coming off the heater pipe nipples coming in/out of the cabin.

As long as a 28471 appears, it is not quite long enough to make it all the way to the engine nipples, so here is your chance to install shut off valves in the heater lines to isolate the cabin from the engine. Nice in summer to help your A/C by keeping unwanted heat out of the cabin. And, later on, any issues within the cabin portion of the system (heater valve, rusted out lines) can be addressed without draining your entire cooling system.
