M42 radiator hose options revisited

[dude8383]

I sent he owner of this guy on bimmerforums a PM asking what hoses he used. His look perfect!

man those pics are nice...im going to see if i can find build pics.

found that on euro depot...looks it has the exact curvature that we need!

Just got back from pep-boys. Spent an almost an hour digging through their 300+ hoses. I found one for the upper that looks better then what I had, and one for the lower that looks about the same, but a bigger ID and less curvature, so it will fit better. I will report back later this week after I try them out.

I spent $26 dollars. I'm going to wait to see if they fit. Last thing we need is part numbers of shit that doesn't fit showing up when some n00b does a search.

Anyone got pics of a neat solution for the small bottom hose for the inbuilt expansion tank? Euro S50B30 in particular. Im thinking of running a T-connector on the heater hose and running it of there, and just blocking the hose off on the other side of the motor.

Say what? My motor came from a e34 so the hose on the bottom of my rad just bolted up.
So if you have a different hose then I would just get one from a e34.
