I just re-read your last reply.



It's rubber on the outside (black) and bradied steel in the middle and then rubber on the inside again. Looks good.

Hey Dave,



You got it?? It's me Tom. You sent me the radio trim pcs.



This stuff works great check it before you go and spend a ton of money on silicone man.



Tom

 

huh.. I was at the parts store last night (checker) and they swore up and down that no one made 2.5-3" radiator hose...

 

I think the name behind Medina Auto Parts is Parts Master. Maybe that will help.



Tom And I'm tellin' ya, I got the stuff on my car.

 

I gotta get going. Let me know what you find out.



Worst comes to worst maybe I can send ya some.



Gotta be sure on the ID though.



Talk to ya tommorow.



Tom

 

P.S.



If nothing else, maybe I can get the part number on the hose for ya. They sell it by the inch.



Later, Tom

 

checked it out.. no hoses. There's a Gates plant right in downtown Denver, and no one carries Gates products!! I bought a coupler made by Spectre for those polished intake things for hondas - 3", a little too big but I squeezed it down. Worked just long enough for me to play with some crotch rockets on the freeway, then it just stretched too big and failed. I think I'm gonna order a set of silicon couplers from turbohoses.com. now the question is, how many couplers do i need to order??

 

God! You're like a man dying of thirst on the ocean. Water all around and none to drink!!



Well, if it's the 2.75" I.D. ones. I replaced the one comming out of the turbo and the one going into the inter-cooler.



How much you gonna pay for those???





Tom



P.S. Did fall asleep at the wheel and not allocate enough electricity for us folks up north

 

i just replaced the same hoses. i got mine from the 7store but it was the same ones from turbohoses.com. even had the turbohoses logo on it. $35. Get some good clamps too. one of mine is shot and i got to get back in there now to replace.
