Title: Radiator Overflow hose
Post by: ChrisV289 on May 17, 2010, 11:27:36 PM

How long should the hose be  or where should it be cut on a 65 mustang built in San Jose?  Any specific way it should be cut or if the ribbed part should be on top? Any pics?

Thanks

Most of the time the hose seems to stop about 1" or so from the bottom of the lower tank (the lower edge) sorry have not measured allot of them. I would position the rib so that it is visible (seen it that way on most of not all of the original ones I've seen)

The ends are normally cut at a 90 degree angle from the length
