What vehicle's coolant hoses do I need to buy to use when I move my C5 radiator cradle forward (laid down)? It seems like DIY info is extremely sparse on this topic. I guess most Corvette guys PAY to have items installed but I come from F-body land where we have testes and work on our own cars. Anybody know the part number or vehicle to get the hose for that fits?
(kinda like the belt for a Procharger with A&A bracket is the same belt used for a stock 1987 F-150 5.0L)

Thanks in advance.

I know its not exactly what you are asking for, but here is another option. I used this stuff on my build as I had to move the radiator forward. You can cut it to whatever lengh you need, and it is easily bendable.

 

I have the same stuff for both my hoses ^^^^^^^^^^^^

 

How flexible is the material and does it hold it's bent shape well? I am thinking about doing something with my hoses on my vette and this looks pretty promising.

 

I had to use that stuff for my lower rad hose...worked very well and holds its shape...thats why I went with it, I had to route around belts and whatnot...

 

Did you guys have to cut your cradle? Can you tell me how far forward you moved it? I'm having a heck of a time getting this info!
