Vauxhall Nova GTE or GSi bottom coolant hose

I'll have a look next time I'm in my garage.

did you get chance to look?

I bought an Astra F 1.6 8v Gates 3771 hose, it's too short, by about 3 or 4 inches. I'm using a GTE radiator.

This is proving to be a nightmare, after getting no joy trying the Astra type recommended to me I tried Roose Motorsport, who were happy to split the GTE set and send me a bottom hose singularly. It arrived today and when I tried it it was know where near, it was just the same as my other non GTE nova hoses.

If anybody does have a GTE or GSi bottom hose handy please can you check a couple of things.

1. The Hose diameter at the water rail end in 40-42mm and the radiator end is 35mm.
2. The distance between outside edges, measured left to right on the car is approx 265mm.

Thanks
