Reducing radiator hose.

[xclusive_eg8]

hey guys,

I have a radiator with 32mm inlet and outlet but my engine has 28mm in and out. What would be best way to reduce size to make it work??

Im thinking silicone hose fittings, but never seen them for sale.

get a fitter and turner to turn you aluminum adapters. 28mm one side 32mm the other. you'll also need two short pieces of 32mm hose from a teg to connect the adapter to the rad

best to get the radiator with same size hose.

I've been working on this problem for a long time too.

it would be cheaper to get adapters turned than buying a new radiator

yep im thinking get the metal adapters made up, would be safer and less issues... dodge fix would be weld 2 pipes together but i respect my civic.
