1932 Ford Model B radiator hoses.

[37 Coupe]

I was surprised to see that finding the correct or at least the right size radiator hoses for the '32 Model B is difficult,so far. I know what the correct sizes should be from the '32 book but no one I contacted today has them or have not got back to me.Has this been an ongoing issue with supply? I tried 3rd gen where Michael is sending the vacuum tubing I posted about last week but no hoses. He mentioned a couple Model A suppliers but no luck. CW Moss list them out of stock. No one else I have contacted do not carry Model B '32 parts ,only V8. Thanks for any leads. CW Moss does list the correct number for upper hose. B-8260 but state it is only for Model A.which should be A-8260,so even more confusion.Tomorrow I guess I will start all over again.

Isn't it just straight coolant hose? I got some at NAPA.

As Bob C has said, Napa has plenty of choices.

I have heard that 8BA lower hoses (that have a slight offset) are easier to work with.

The red stripe set of 1930-31 hoses that Synder's Model A parts ought work, RIGHT??

The Snyder's red stripe hoses for a '30-'31 will work if the upper B hose is 9" or less as the lower hoses are the same and the upper hose inside diameter is the same. They are in stock according to their online catalog.


Oops, 11 1/2" is the required length of the B upper hose, so the A version at 9" falls well short.
