radiator hose ford 2.3l

[oilslick]

I need to know where to find a lower radiator hose that has the wire cone in the center. Where can I find one or what is a manufacturer and part # so I can find online? Thanks.

Go to your local Napa store.We have never had a problem with their hoses.Most are usually under $20.00

Or...... if you have a tube bender in your area, bend a section of tubing to fit the lower hose profile from the radiator to the input of the water pump. Then use a short section of hose on each end to hook it up. In that manner, guaranteed the lower radiator hose will not collapse. -Dave-

We use a chevy type radiator and use a short lower hose to the water pump and use metal pipe on the top to cross it over with small hosses on each end.
