Post by kelvingenders »

Has any one got a stockist for these or any ideas of how to replicate them

No idea of stockists, but when ever I have one go on me I cut out the affected area and replace with a bend of the same amount (or a straight lump).

My nearist stockist of random lumps o' rad hose is a place called Hyphose, but Pirtek or similar will sort you out.

Gates have a top radiator hose in their catalogues:

(the website only seems to work with the Internet Explorer)

Click on "english" and then on this picture:

for the hoses.

The top hose for a 360 is part no. 3280. I actually have one of these at home, but never got around to testing whether it really fits :oops:

Volvo dealers are no use for 360 rad hoses anymore unfortunately, they're all NLA.

I think another one of the Aussie members on here cut down a Holden Commodore hose to fit. No idea of the year though. Safest bet would be to take the old hose into somewhere like Pirtek or Hosemasters, and see if you can find one to suit...... or if you can find a scrap commodore :)

This is all part of the fun of owning an old faintly obscure volvo down under.... there will be none left here soon :(

take your busted pipe to the scrapyard, look for something that's the same or damn close, it's not rocket science! Get the newest piece of pipe you can find.
