I have a 70 Challenger I put a 31” wide aluminum radiator in. I am trying to find an upper hose that will fit this application. It is passenger side 1-1/2” and measures 13” center to center. Does anyone have a part number for something that might work? Thank you in advance!!

Buy some silicone bends (spendy) or cut up a stock hose, add the appropriately sized tube (swaged) and job done as per pic. I did pretty much the same on the lower hose to clear the oil lines for the remote filter

i have one of those replacement "heat stove tubes" from a 70's something [universal perhaps ?] i just bend it to whatever shape i need, then go to the local parts store [o'reily's and napa] and match it up to something on the wall. most of the time the hose needs trimmed on both ends. i also bend some 1/16" wire around a broom handle, then insert it into the lower hose to prevent it from collapsing if it wants to do that.

I don't like trusting a .50 hose clamps from blowing a hose going down the track. I welded up some -20 weld bungs and made some -20 AN upper and lower hoses.
