Question for those who replaced radiator with A/T Options

[valerit1]

Hi,

Did you replace the rubber hoses which connect the transmission and the built-in cooler in the radiator or reused the old ones?
Where did you get those, if replaced? Did you replace the O-ring for the fan swith in the radiator bottom?
Where did you get it?
Thanks,



Val

Wow, I think you put this in the wrong spot...anyways. Im getting ready to do this....again.
Ok, um I reused mine, inspected them, they still looked good. Im sure that you can get rubber hosing from almost anywhere. dont know if there is a PSI limit youd need though (wouldnt think so).
Secondly, its good practice to replace seals, gaskets, packings, etc with new ones when you mess with them. Does this mean you have to do it, no, personal preference. I try to, but you can buy an o-ring kit from an auto store (pep boys, autozone)

For those transmisson lines, if there cracked or broken. You have to replace them with Power steering lines to hold the fluid and the beatings since it is underneath your car. You cannot use vaccum lines or fuel line they must be at least power steering lines of same dimension or something as tough as power steering line.

Just curious, anyone replace those lines with a rubber/stainless lines?
