I have been doing lots of maintenance on the WD45 here lately and installed a new radiator and water pump today. All was good until I realized the upper water hose I bought from a well known supplier didn't fit. It is about 1 1/2 to short.
I have told yall in the past this WD45 has a WD engine made into a WD45. Does that make a difference for the length of the hose? It listed under the description it fit wc wd and wd45 though. Thanks for any help. I guess I have to go through the trouble of tryin to get my money out of this now since it was over the insternet.

I always bring the old one to napa and have them cut a new one. Always the right size then.

Its looking like all the suppliers have a 10inch hose, which will not work with an aftermarket Northern radiator. It has to be about a 11inch hose. I went to the local parts store and bought a flexible radiator hose with the wire in it and it fit exactly.
