I spent sunday installing a non OE radiator in my Spitfire, and came to the conclusion that I need a special hose to make this thing work. Specifically, I need a tight 90 deg. bend 1-3/4" radiator hose. Trak Auto used to have the coolant hoses where you could browse and buy. Now that they've gone out of business, the major parts suppliers (Schlep Boys, Advanced Auto, NAPA) you have to go to the Parts Counter and give them a make, model and year before they will go look for it. Does anyone know somewhere in MD/DC area that sells a multitude of radiator hoses that can be browsed on a rack? Or if someone out there has an auto parts place that still sells hoses off of the rack and is willing to look for me and I'll pay for the item and shipping plus something for your trouble? Just contact me off-list. I'd prefer to browse and buy myself, so that I can get this done asap. As the car is obviously undrivable without a hose. But any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. -Terry
