I just used the old school coat hanger trick a couple of days ago. Problem matching was not so much the bends and length, but the two different hose end sized (2" and 1 3/4" to radiator. Got one, just trimmed some length off and so far so good. Thanks for sharing. I love my local O'Reileys too. Their customer service is so awesome. Thanks for sharing and cheers from Motown.

Great tip, done many like this over the years..... FYI don't use screw hose clamps on rad hoses use spring style it will last longer during hot/cold cycles.

Great job.

I get that you're trying to show the coat hangar trick, you shoulda just used your old cobbled-together hose assembly as an example.

Good job neat wire trick.. Can't wait for that d150 swap

[@SUBLIMEparts]

You know it. We spent a few hours on the D150 last night 😎

Whatever you do don't use the flex hose it puts stress on the radiator neck

Good work, but if you only shop there, when did O'Reilly's start selling NAPA Batteries?

[@SUBLIMEparts]

Customer’s car, he is free to shop wherever he pleases for his batteries 😁
