Does anyone know the internal diameter of the top radiator hose on a 2.5 engine. Want to cut and install a water temp sender adapted.

Cheers

 

approx 35mm from memory and normally have in stock

 

35mm confirmed just measured a hose

 

Thanks for the confirmation

 

well my 36mm adapter arrived.

Way too small, looks like I need 40mm

Getting quite a collection of these now.....

 

WTF?? now I'm worried about the samco (that I measured) that's awaiting fitting to my SpecD won't be right

 

This has been winding me up so I measured the port on the radiator its 35mm internal and 40 external (so a snug fit for the hose). However, both the new samco and the old one that is actually fitted to the car each have 35mm internal bore and both fit like a glove

 

So last night I took the plunge and cut the pipie the 36mm adapter went in easily, but sealed well once the clipnwas tightened and no leaks.

This was an OEM top hose. hopefully the slightly narrower section will not restrict flow too much.

 

glad you got it sorted mate

I have a full set of red samcos going to be fitted in about 2 - 3 weeks this will leave me with the samco top and bottom rad hoses in blue, top hose is fitted at the moment and is as new (less than 1k miles on it), the bottom hose was never fitted. if your interested in these let me know

cheers

 

PM'd
