I can't say that I have ever seen bulk flex radiator hose. What stops it from leaking at the hose clamps?

With the helix being on the outside the inside is smooth!! So clamping isn't a problem. Haven't any on my van outside or would take a pic for you. We use a lot of 2" stuff on excavators and plant. If it works on them it will do a carrier!

Rob, have you seen the photo in the early carrier thread?

How great is the offset on these hoses originally? Ive got a truck radiator for my LP Carrier that has outlets that are slightly higher than a proper LP Carrier radiator. I wonder if using hoses like this will solve my issue?

Just had a look at it. It certainly shows the degree of angle involved.

Alex, maybe you can calculate the difference and ask Rob to give you an estimate of the offset from a straight line, when his arrive?
I assume you know that the Ford radiators have 3 different lower spigots? (are there more?) The straight out the rear, the drop down and then back, and the LP2 type, off the corner (midway between the other two, I assume) The riveted carrier ones are straight out the back.

I actually have the first hose here now, and waiting for a second one to come through NAPA in the next couple days.
Measuring the one here on my desk, and quickly checking the angles on the engine I have on the stand right now, I would suggest you could easily get a 2" rise out of the hose without putting any un-due stress on the rad inlet. If you were to go for minimum, then I would suggest you could use this hose for as little as a 1/2" rise. I am pretty positive this is going to be the solution for the carrier if a preformed hose is desired. |

This is it.. not original. It is a simple rubber hose pipe. Probably made about 15 years ago when the engine was still running.
