Stepdown Lower Radiator Hose

    I'm currently tasked with obtaining a set of radiator hoses for a friend's Hudson restoration (in another country). I've got the top hose covered, but was wondering if there is an alternative hose for the bottom that does not require the metal elbow in the midde? This would be connecting the stock radiator/water pump port locations on a '51 Super Six.

    Or, does anyone have an extra metal elbow they could sell me?

    Thanks for the help

    You will need one with a reinforceing spring inside.I have matched one up to the origanal at a NAPA store,but that may be difficult if it's in another country!.
    Check with them and see if they have a listing.I seem to remember a 60's Pontiac hose was cut down to work.
    Maybe someone will respond with a part number or source for you

    From memory the bottom hose from some variety of Toyota Landcruiser fits the bill.
