Needing a top rad hose for a 13S engine, but parts list 3 different depending on chassis number. (I've ordered one which is all they can get hold of)
Engine came from elsewhere, no idea on chassis number!

Question is, is there much difference ?

Engine will be mounted in same place in all I would have thought,
and radiator just about same ?

Cheers

There is a couple of different ones. The thermostat housing outlets are slightly different but they should be interchangeable.

Actually the earlier ones have a narrower bore outlet on the thermostat housing. The later one is wider. They are not interchangeable.

Got it from the parts shop, looked and thought nah, wrong shape.

Took it so I could maybe bodge something together, tried it on the car and IT IS the right one !
