Title: 47 Cadillac lower radiator hose
Post by: jamesmundstock on October 30, 2024, 11:32:31 AM
I am working on a 47 Fleetwood. I purchased a lower radiator hose from one of the Cadillac specialists and I received a straight wrapped hose. The one I removed had a 40 degree bend in it. I tried but there is no way the straight one will go on. Does anyone have an aftermarket part number and supplier for a hose with the bend? I'll be happy with one that is long and I cut the ends to fit. Thanks in advance for the replies.

 Did you mean 40 degree or 90 degree bend?  Please measure the inside diameter for both ends of the old hose. Or measure the necks on the radiator and waterpump , and the lengths of the legs of the elbow.

Try Gates 20589. It has the 45 degree bend and is proper ID.    Harry
