Arvizu9618 Posted July 11, 2016 Author Share Posted July 11, 2016 Doug: Thanks for the reply but omg... $90 for a hose, yikes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72-CLASSIC_RIDE Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Yeah, I know. Had you tried NAPA? It seems when I bought mine, it may have been NAPA where I found it with the spring. It's been awhile, but I think the upper hose was the one I had the most trouble locating, eventually having one reproduced. There is a guy in Florida that reproduces radiator hoses. Not sure if he can make you a look alike and he is on eBAY, but I can't remember his eBAY Sellers name at the moment. If/when I remember or find it, I will try to remember & let you know. Hello, I just remembered, it's "PacecarJeff" Never hurts to ask. Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arvizu9618 Posted July 11, 2016 Author Share Posted July 11, 2016 Thanks again Doug, I'll try NAPA in person, their website is pesky ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbolt Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 NPD has hose springs, but you have to look under ford to find them. I think they are a couple of bucks. All you need to know is the hose ID to order one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
71MonteCarloMD Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 I had to reuse the spring on my 72. I am curious how do you reuse the spring? Do you cut up the old one up to get spring out? And how do you put spring in the new one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbolt Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 You should be able to reach in there and grab the spring and simply pull it out. You may have to twist it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 I just pull the spring out of the old hose and put it in the new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
