brad Posted June 3, 2017 Report Share Posted June 3, 2017 you can install it either direction, but only one way is correct. The long leg goes to the radiator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not true Brad!....If the long leg of the hose is connected to the radiator, the hose will most likely come in contact with the top of the "J" bolt battery holddown. ( on round light '63 Avantis) That interference between hose and bolt will cause the top radiator hose to eventually 'rub through' and leak! Answer to question.....FALSE! (shorter end goes to radiator) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfg Posted August 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 Once again, on 'round light' Studebaker Avantis, make sure the SHORTER end of the upper radiator hose faces radiator to avoid a hose 'rub through'!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
