Restoration hoses

I had ordered a few of the 68-69 non ac upper hoses 60666. These were the ones that are not correct for the 67-69 with the straight water neck. The way the hose is formed, it might fit the 45° water neck. I will check this weekend and if they fit, I will have them for sale.

It's not just the thermostat cover angle. The 20416 Gates has that angle correct. It's the slight S curve to the radiator neck that's the problem. The 20416 has just one bend. The hose needs three to be correct.

Here is a recent picture of the engine compartment of my FS. Note the top radiator hose is a Gates 20386, as is the bottom hose. In my opinion, it fits very well and looks original. Period photos below for comparison.

That does look good! Thanks.
