Subject:Radiator hose clamp size
From:Rob
Date:Sat, 22 Jul 2023 12:14:44 -0700

Yesterday I crunched a car with my 1990 tintop, it looks like my
bumper went under their bumper (2020 Subaru Forester), it left my
radiator leaking a bit.  The bus is at a friend's house & I have a
radiator on order from GoWesty.

I was out looking for my homemade hose clamps (a piece of lumber with
bolts on either end) but they were not where I remembered them... it's
been a few years (12 :-) since I used them and a few moves. I really
remembered them in that tool box ... oh well.

I was going to make some so I'm ready when the radiator comes in next
week but I am unsure of the large hose size (diameter). The bolts have
to be long enough and set far enough apart for them to work.

Anyone know the diameter of the hoses?

Thanks.
