A question for someone running a combo Hose/steel tube top radiator hose. How long is the stock Tube? in inches mm cm hectars what ever I can't seam to find this measurement. I want to order an aluminum tube with a rolled bead on both ends but can't find how long it needs to be as my parts are still on shelves etc.

Thank you so much Gill by having the hose sections in the photo I can see the relationship very well.

I will be using a RED Silicone Hose section 4" long on both ends with a Polished Aluminum Tube and special full wrap stainless Steel hose clamps.

As with anything else 'custom' the key to a neat installation would be to install the parts you know you are going to use (the 4" RED Silicone Hose sections) in the way you want them to be used and measure between them for the way you would want it to end up.....or that's my opinion. Approve
