Where can I get solid chrome or any other color upper and lower radiator hoses? I checked with MAC and the sales rep said they no longer sell them although they still have them in their catalog.

Peace

do you want it for cosmetic reasons or because your hose wrinkles up?

I remember someone saying that double pipe was getting very hard to find and the prices on them has gotten to be outta sight.

I got tired of the hassle it gave me so I just went back to the way Ford did it in the sixty's.

I cut both tubes off and went with two regular heater hoses.

I can now pull that valve cover off without draining coolant. Those hard lines were always a sore spot with me.

No I don't want them for cosmetics. It seems that when I rev the car under the hood it sucks in a little which scares me. As a matter of fact the hose seemed soft when I purchased it. The car comes nowhere to overheating and the hose is full but still sucks in a little. I used to have the hose with the spring in it which kept it from doing that. I can't seem to find them anymore.

Correction. The sales rep and Texas Mustang said that MAC no longer makes them. I was a little skeptical of that. I will check around. I just was hoping someone could give me a vendor that I could purchase them from.

there is a place called pacifica performance or some **** who is basically a mac dealer, do a search on them. and there is nothing wrong with getting them for cosmetic reasons, they look sweet.

Have you tried e-bay? that's where I got mine from. IDK who the maker is. They cost $100.00 for the upper & lower. No problem with them except the lower is probably useless cause you can't really see it.

I'd say if all else fails call around to different places, someone's bound to have one they ain't sold yet, even if it isn't made anymore.

Thanks for info. I checked them out. They are about $100 including shipping. Is that a good price?
