hi does anyone know if the top rad hose is 32mm or 36mm or 40mm as i want to fit a water temp fitting kit in it cheers
its a blobeye

 

Hi mate,

Just recently done this!!

Assuming its the same size as my RB320 (which im 99.9% sure it is!!) then I reckon you will need a 38mm hose adaptor. I installed Samco's on the car a few weeks back and (for some reason I cant remember) bought a 35mm Samco alloy hose adaptor .... it was too small, and didnt offer as tight a fit as I wanted .... so I had to order a 38mm diameter one, which gives a nice tight fit!!

Norm.

 

Thanks will get one ordered

 

I've got a new spare top hose in the garage - 36mm internal diameter.

 

Just checked the standard hose that I took off the car .... its definitely 38mm?

Either way, I would always lean towards a bigger diameter adaptor, as you dont want to rely on just the hose clip to seal the hose!!

I see you're just up the road from me .... im in Larky!!

 

Thanks for checking will get one ordered going to fit gauges when im off on holiday this week and i bought my car from a guy from larky
