The three year old Landy radiator has already started leaking, so I'm fitting a K0360



Problem is I need an angled hose as the old rad looked like this



I have a standard 90deg 35mm silicone hose, but the leg is only 150mm which isn't long enough.

Anyone have any suggestions?

What is the standard hose?

I could use a coupling, but that's just another opportunity for leaks, so not my preferred option.

Will they do the job? TBH the bottom hose on mine looks like it's being crushed/kinked between the chassis & body. I'd wondered about having it come straight out of the rad and then bend 90 degrees in the front wheel arch. I've checked the steering lock and it shouldn't foul. I need to get my car back from the trimmers first though and then have another look.

Superb Will thanks, 300mm would definitely be long enough!

Hopefully the 180mm 90 deg I picked up from TVR Car Parts yesterday will do the job, that extra 30mm should help.

If not it's great to have an alternative - many thanks.
