I need to know the inside diameter of both ends of the upper radiator hose.
I'm trying to cobble a temporary upper radiator hose for my 87 5ktq, and
the car is outside and it is cold and dark, and I can't go out there and
take off the old leaking hose and measure the inside diameter.
If one of you knows that dimension, I can walk up to the hardware store and
buy a short length of radiator hose of the correct inside diameter, and
also buy a coupler that same size, and have something that will keep my car
running until Tuesday or Wednesday next week, when the correct dealer part
gets here.......probably. I ordered it today along with a new banjo
fitting-plus-short-hose for the feed to the turbo cooling circuit.
I have a Krazy Glue cloth patch on that hose, which had a quarter inch
split in it. Both these hoses started leaking at the same time, and I
spent two hours on a side street in a strange city trying to patch them up
well enough to get home.
So, I'm gathering info and planning how to best use my time on Saturday
morning, when the stores open up. And that inside diameter info will be
real helpful.
