'69-383, b body, 26" radiator.
Want to buy new upper and lower hoses for the Bee.
Was looking at Rock Auto and have no idea what would be the best to buy for a driver car.
What make and part numbers are you guys using that are good quality and fitment?
Thanks in advance.

One last thing, shouldn't the lower hose have that coil spring in it? Is it in there? If not, what material are you using to make one?

for springs, i have used .074dia. stainless wire and wrapped it around some black pipe [1" i think] that was a little smaller than the i.d. of the hose. since the pipe is smaller than the inside of the hose, it will spring back to the perfect diameter. make sure the ends are deburred and "pig tailed" so they don't contact the inside of the hose, then screwed into the hose. cheap [around $3.99 for a 30" piece of wire at the local ACE hardware] and easy to do. That's awesome, thank you for the tip!
