Re: Spitfire radiator hose again (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Sat, 15 Nov 1997 09:07:28; Brian, When I replaced my hoses (obtained from Moss), the hose you mentioned DID contact the motor mount. No amount of finagling or repositioning could eliminate that contact. I installed a large cab; /html/triumphs/1997-11/msg01027.html (8,308 bytes)
4. Re: Spitfire radiator hose again (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Sat, 15 Nov 1997 10:49:23 -0800; I waited out of curiosity before throwing my 2 cents into this issue. Mainly because my 63 Spit sports a 1500 engine but retains the original radiator. I figured that was the reason my own lower hose; /html/triumphs/1997-11/msg01038.html (9,776 bytes)
