Default 411 S2 upper radiator hose

Does anyone know the source for the 411 s2 383 upper radiator hose?
I plan on flushing the engine and replacing hoses.
Thanks,

Greg

Default Replacing hoses, a very good idea

Radiator hoses come in all sizes and shapes, and it would not be all that difficult to match something up to what you have. To be certain, You may not find an exact match, but a little cutting on one end or the other will do the trick. Best to find a large shop that carries a wide variety of hoses, and bring yours along for comparison. The counter person will take a look and probably have a good idea of a similar hose. You needn't tell him what make of car you have, as that will ony confuse. I would stay away from those ugly 'one size fits all' corrugated hoses with the wire spring inside. New hoses will make your car safer, as the risk of a blown hose will be elimiated, and we all know when this sort of thing happens..........
