Windjamer14 Posted February 10, 2018 Posted February 10, 2018 Did the top radiator hose have a bracket to the fan shroud, or does it just lay on it? Quote
Rob Peters Posted February 10, 2018 Posted February 10, 2018 Yes, On the top drivers side of the fan shroud you will notice a flat area with a hole in it. There was a strap, like a plastic zip tie, with an expandable bulb that slipped into that hole and that strap circled the hose and on the other end of the strap was an end that would slip into a hole in the bulb and when that end was inserted into the bulb it expanded the bulb in the hole and held it into place. Open the below link and look at the picute. It would look like this but the strap would be connected to both pieces. https://www.grainger.com/product/5NCD2?cm_mmc=PPC:+Google+PLA&s_kwcid=AL!2966!3!166589327917!!!g!82128375477!&ef_id=VocoYwAABFLIOkIP:20180210022254:s&kwid=productads-adid^166589327917-device^c-plaid^82128375477-sku^5NCD2-adType^PLA rob Quote
Rob Peters Posted February 10, 2018 Posted February 10, 2018 Just to add, A number of years ago one of our members came across a bunch of these and bought them all and supplied many of our members with replacements for their cars but I think he sold out of them a long time ago. rob Quote
stangeba Posted February 10, 2018 Posted February 10, 2018 On my 71 I have this type. I "think" I remember purchasing it from our member (can't remember her name) who, sadly, had a 71 SS that burned up in her garage several years ago in Ohio. Bruce Quote

Windjamer14 Posted February 13, 2018 Author Posted February 13, 2018 Anyone find them let me know? Quote
joseph Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 i went to grainger and found these . a steel clamp with a rubber wrap around. the part # is 1bae3. you have to buy a 10 pack. they fit loose so when the hose expands it will be snug. i hope to find the correct one someday. Quote
