GD 214 top radiator hose.

Looking for a number so I can go to the parts store to see about getting one.
I have checked the parts link format and the parts link and did not see anything.
There is something listed for the lower hose.
Thank you.

Re: GD 214 top radiator hose.

The top hose I got from here. Page 15. These are made to look like the old wrap type. Just find size..forgotten.. Pretty much just a straight hose there, just get right size. (order back ups and return ones that didn't fit.

And here are previous searches for lower hose.

The lower is a bit tough I think I got the summit one, but had to customize it a bit (shorten). And I also added a good size spring inside from a doner hose because there is a hard angle there at the bottom where it turns and it looked like it might get a vacuum lock pinch point there and cut off water...And the spring will keep it open and round.

They also make a very nice top hose filter you can splice in between, in case you worried about block "rusty crud" getting in you new or rebuilt radiator.

It's easy to remove every now and again and dump out crud.

Greatly appreciate the information.
I needed to ask about what/where to get a thermostat for the GD 214 as well.
Thank you.

Either you have to find a NOS old one or rip out old one from inside and just match the hole size in head, to a modern one.
