Spec and Source for Hose

Recommended Posts

What sort of rubber hose would be best for a rear radiator installation with the hose running through the transmission tunnel?

It needs to cope with temps over 100C (safety factor). Many hoses seem to be rated to 90C max.

Resistant to antifreeze

Hardwearing / resist chafing

Available in over 3 metre lengths

Relatively flexible / joinable with jubilee clips

Reasonably priced

So far I've considered:

Silicone - nice but megabucks given the run

Copper/stainless pipe - tricky to get the bends right, rattling against tunnel & gearbox, chance of getting flattened (restricting flow)

Automotive radiator hose - I can only find it in 1 metre lengths.

Marine fuel hose - seems the best option but not sure about long term use with antifreeze.
