Bottom hose

Post by **10852sm** » Mon Jul 14, 2008 7:35 am

Hi,

I am buying parts online (UK suppliers) for delivery to the UK while I am in China working, so they are ready for when I return, hence I am reluctant to spent ££ssss on the phone to suppliers to answer my question.

I want to buy a bottom radiator hose for my 1958 948cc car with heater, I have seen listed a hose with heater take off but it says for cars after 1962, is this the year that heaters where standard, is this the hose that I need is there another difference?

Thanks

AFAIK the heater connection is the only difference between the two types.

Thanks Alex,

Just to be clear, the difference is some come with one and some come without, is this correct?

Thanks

Steve

They're also a different construction but I don't think that matters. The radiator and water pump connections are the same size and in the same place. On ESM's site they don't mention a year, they just sell the two types as "early OHV plain type" and "late OHV with heater takeoff."
