Well I got the radiator back in, and the lower radiator hoses in place..........Only snafu I ran into was the upper hose. I bought the hose set from Kanters about 18 months ago, and this was the first time I tried to fit the upper hose. It is just way to short in the horizontally section by about 4 inches........The other hoses in the set fit just fine.......

Even with a the tarp over the engine compartment, I am always amazed how dusty all that black paint gets.


Kev,

Similar experience with the hoses for the '41. The upper hose "just" fitted while the lower hoses were shorter than required. The upper still might need replacement once the engine is brought back to life.

It seems to be the "nature" of black to attract dust.
