[Mgb-v8] Radiator hose suggestions

[Rick Huber]

Hi Jim,
I just replaced the lower radiator hose on my Rover 3.5 1975 MGB V8.  My
radiator has the outlet on the passenger side, but I formerly had the metal
sleeve inserted in the middle.  I was able to make a flexible Napa hose
work, part number FF284, a 1 1/2" hose 25" long.  They make different
lengths, if that one doesn't work, another one might.
Cheers,
Rick Huber
