Flexible Rad & Heater Hoses

Great68 · Mar 30, 2008

Hi guys,

I want to oust the crappy rubber hoses for something a little more durable and better looking.

What are the best flexible rad & heater hoses on the market?

I have been looking at the Coolflex brand, they claim to be seamless copper:

I have also been looking at Flexikool brand, stainless steel construction:

Thanks for the help!

They work great.
BUT
make sure when you get them, add the anti rust additive.(Ask me how I know)

you can also get the same flexible metal hose from the local hardware store. it is usually chromed copper. you just need to get the rubber hose ends.

I have CoolFlex on my 66, they've worked great so far (4 years) and still look the same as new.
