Re: {Chrysler 300} Radiator Hoses

["D.C. Mason" <petergriffinforpresident@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi JY,

For what it’s worth, I asked this question to my local Napa store owner a few months ago and was told that manufacturing has gotten away from using the coil wire, because the hoses are made stronger to resist collapse at temperature now.  I’m not sure that applies in every case, but it may be worth looking into.  If you use wire maybe somebody makes stainless now to avoid the rusty mess from the plain steel…

Speaking of rad hoses, anybody have a source for the coil wire present in the lower rad hose to keep it from collapsing? I have seen that coiled wire in the upper hose of A/C cars as well, it helps it to stay away from the generator or alternator belts. Lower hose wire is slightly bigger diameter vs upper hose wire.

Just throwing it out there, but I use 7096 as the top hose whether it’s a/c or not.  That’s because even though you may see hose 777 called out for non a/c cars, it’s just a shorter hose.  The 7096 is longer and you can trim what you don’t need.  

If you have a/c definitely go with the 7096 if choosing Napa products.  If your hose ends up slightly short on an a/c car, you run the risk of the hose touching the a/c belts and rubbing through.  The 7096 gives plenty of clearance.

Looking for upper and lower Radiator hoses for my 64 K. Any recommendations?

Thanks, Rick King
