OE factory correct heater hoses..Where to go? - 12/15/11 12:29 PM

Was curious to know where i can buy the most correct style of heater hose for 71 340 cuda w/o ac.I have seen different sizes of the letters on the hoses,and different ribbing.. Who should i talk to that sells the most correct hoses..Or if anyone has original heater hoses with correct numbers in mint condition to sell.

thanks all!

Nicklas

I think a lot of places sell the same reproduction hoses. I don't know if there are accually different suppliers.

I bought mine from Bill at amhightechauto.

Doesnt Roger Gibson supply all the vendors with Mopar approved hoses? So buy direct or through one of the sponsors here on Moparts....

Ok,i have talked to Frank Badalson now,and he tells me that they make the most accurate repro hoses.

Do you think i can be confident with what he tells me?

so now you only have to get a us adress

.ive used www.shipito.com as my us adress when some people think its to difficult to send to sweden,8 $ per package to take delivery in us and then resend to sweden(+the shipping cost to sweden)

.alot cheaper than going over with the suitcase

There was no purchase from Frank..He told me i already had the same heater hoses he sold..(See picture)

I thought there were repro hoses with more factory accuracy in the stamping than this..

You need the plastic insulator for your alternator terminal.

Looks like your car is avery nice restoration. I was not being critical. You can easily ground out your electrical system if you touch the terminal with a tool or something when the battery is hooked up. This could blow your regulator.

Did you call to Frank and tell that in practice it's very easy to send items overseas by USPS, it's almost as easy as sending in US or Canada

I have asked Frank before,i was ordering a small pcv-valve from him then.He does not ship outside us,maby canada..But no big problem,Randy on dixie restortion parts have helped me to get a nice rad-hose from Frank.Randy seems to be a very good guy.
