Radiator Overflow Hose
 

Could anyone verify by looking closely at these photos and see if this is an original radiator overflow hose? Was removed from an OG coded radiator years ago but uncertain if it's real or repop. It does have three ribs along the entire length. Measures in at 21 1/2" long. It is 1/16" thick and has an inside diameter of 3/8" with and outside diameter of 1/2". Is there is anything else I should be looking for on the hose?

Thanks,
Sal

Aside from the 3 ribs,do you feel a seam 180° from them?

No Rick I don't feel a seem 180* from the 3 ribs. Is that good news or bad? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

That's Good,I would say yours is an authentic original.
I've only seen repro with a raised 4th 180° seam so far.
