Restoration hoses

Did you try the 20386 on the top? It looks perfect, just like the pictures in the road test articles. Its not an AC hose in this application, I can't speak to other uses. I'm fussy too, I want an original look, the 20416 looked terrible, very non-original. I'll post a picture when I get it back together again.

Yes, that's the answer! I went ahead and got another Gates 20386 lower hose to use for a top hose. You cut off 2 1/2 inches off the thermostat cover end and it fits great! it's all stamped and ready to install now. I'll post a photo when it is. Thanks! :thumbsup: :thankyou:
