Radiator Hoses - Saloon with rad in nose

[list...@liberator-systems.co.uk]

Anyone happen to know the source(s) for top & bottom rad hoses? Standard Fiesta ones are obviously not long enough with rad in nosecone. The bottom hose is the type with T juntion  feed from heater return.

Hi quality silicone hoses are available from  www.viperperformance.co.uk.

They make hoses that enable one to make up any link between units.

I will probably switch to silicone hoses throughout when engine is changed.

For now I am looking for rubber hoses as backups.

Th old hoses look like OEM but the markings are too faded to read so trying to find out what vehicle they are for.

When I relocated my rad to the nosecone I simply extended the original hoses with some suitably sized pipe and jubilee clips! 

With the new engine install I have been using universal silicone sections and stainless pipe between. Not the cheapest option ( so probably best to wait for your new engine as well)but should last for a long time.

I did use the extension method in one config - I used standard XR2 hoses together with inline temp sensor adapters in top & bottom hoses.

I think the original rubber hoses that were fitted (which need no extensions) may be from an Escort/Orion.
