Thread: NEED Help! Installed new rad with angled lower hose connection !

Just like the title states I just installed a Vista Pro radiator part # 432387 since its a bit wider, well the lower hose connection is angled instead of straight. Anyone happen to know what hose I should buy to fit properly without rubbing the ac compressor? My original hose rubbed against the compressor and started leaking , thanks!

if you have the room cut off 3 inches of your old hose then cut the tube open, put it over the new hose where it rubs, then zip tie it in place.

I have no room the hose is hitting the ac compressor.

what im saying is wrap the hose with a chunk of the old hose, so it protects it from being rubbed.

Well I dont think that will help the issue, I need to find a lower radiator hose that doesnt touch the ac compressor. Im looking for any member in here that has done the wider radiator install that have dealt with this issue. The problem is that the lower hose connection on the original radiator is straight, the new radiator has an angle on the lower hose connection pointing towards the driver side.

Well I found a link to info on this problem, I ordered a Dayco 71700 hose and will cutting 1/2" in order to work . Thanks for your help.
