[Tigers] radiator hose sucking shut

[Teepen, Jere]

Jim:

I do not have the particulars, but I purchased a "universal fit" flexible
radiator hose in the same diameter and length as the lower Tiger hose and
purloined the spring from there.  It slid into the formed Tiger hose with no
problem.  I do not know if I was having a problem with the hose collapsing, I
installed it because it is a good idea to have one in there.

Good luck,

Jere

Hello,

Still trying to debug my rebuilt 260 with new LAT 1 option.

It continues to run really really hot, even with a  Derale puller fan  and an
electric pusher. Real hot: like 240-250 indicated on a warm day,  slightly
less on a cooler one.

I remember someone mentioning the internal spring that prevents a hose from
getting sucked closed.

If you would, which hose is it? I sure hope it is this and not something much
more "deadly"

Thanks,
