Where are you guys getting reproduction rad hoses?

[72 Challenger]

Hi friends!

Where are you all getting reproduction rad hoses? I am actually looking for my duster but can't seem to find any companies that are reproducing mopar hoses with the numbers and penta star.

Could someone guide me in the right direction even e-body stuff. I am sure whoever is making it for them is also reproducing a hose for a 1970 Duster 340 w/o A/C 22" rad.

Thanks!

I always get them from MEGA Parts they always seem to have a good selection, maybe Roseville ?

  Dave at Roseville!

Thanks guys! Mega only has a lower. that's annoying. I will check Roseville.

Dotto on calling Dave at Roseville.

Roseville for the win.

going to get a list together. Thanks to a go pro I found out my lower hose just collapses on the highway. While the coolant is empty I am going to swap the heater hoses too. Might as well go full OE. Bought some fuel line too for the filter. Come to think of it I need a section of windshield wiper hose too.

I bought my reproduction hoses from Serge Cote [Conrad Mopar Parts from Quebec] phone # 514-898-5461. Great price and best of all CDN dollars.

Thanks, Alan!


Since I have been on furlough from Mercedes Benz for 4 months now (the dealership is operating at only about 50% of staff currently at only about 100 out of the usual 210 people, and the parent conglomerate, which owns 193 dealerships total nationwide, has been extremely tight on bringing MORE people back due to the virus impact), it has been 100% Mopar! Currently working on sub-assemblies and other components for my convertible, farming out specific components to the appropriate people (engine, steering wheel, steering gear, carburetor (1st of 2), etc.), plus recently adding another 50+ items to my parts website, among other things. My second, and separate, forum-based website will be finished shortly as well. And, oh yes, I had the extra flexibility of time to jump onto ebodies.org as well!


Greetings to all!

Would love to see some pictures of your convertible...how many years has it been now ? Maybe start a build thread...

[Bill Rolik]

Perhaps at some point, but bodywork/paint is being left for last. The primary outsource focus at this time is the engine (.020 overbore, specific to me Comp Cams hydraulic roller, and then quality dyno time). This will be every bit of 9-10K. Considering extrude hone for the manifolds. Being an insane detail freak, there is simply too much to do pertaining to repairing and refinishing components. The fasteners alone (which I am 95% done with now) represents an investment of over 2000.00 in replacement and refinishing with proper plating. In addition to the nearly 90 tote bins of NOS parts acquired over 3 decades, plus many NOS tires and wheels, the acquisition of pristine bare metal parts, and properly date coded parts where required, has been quite a challenge. My original dated motor mounts are fine, so they are going back in! Pretty much the only parts-related purchases now involve things like windshield, carpeting etc. I just had one of my suppliers create a custom trunk mat (remember, mid year and on 71 mats are not rubber and the expense of a true 71 mat is something no one is interested in taking on) with burtex cloth material married to foam backing! It will arrive in a day or so. There is no way I could put a rubber mat, ECS or otherwise, in my March built car!


I plan on throwing out some detail stuff on this site as time permits.

Good to see you here.
This must be the mid 71 year and on trunk mat material you mention.
