Hi all,
Does anyone know of a suitable alternative to the cloth covered lower rad hose that would be available here in europe. ( I've rad about the NAPA part) .
Mines failed and I have ordered a Jinma from the UK, but ideally I want a common equiv available here in France.

I just take the old hose to the auto parts store and we look for a decent match. Frequently the ends need to be trimmed off a longer hose with a section that matches what I want.

+1 on Brads suggestion - when mine went I did exactly that and ended up with a hose that had about twice the length I needed but had the right curve -- worked like a charm

I've even used flex radiator hoses with a wire core when fitting hoses with unusual bends. Wire core especially on the suction side. PJ

Thanks all, eventually I ordered a real Jinma hose from Paddy Kearsley at K Tractors in the UK. Car shops ver in France are not we are used to in other countries !! and tractor dealers are not interested.......
