[QUOTE="Mickey Luis, post: 1036282, member: 67962"] That upper radiator hose is also vulnerable to wear from the big brass nut on the receiver dryer at 9 o'clock of Swshawaii picture. I had to change mine due to the nut embedding an nasty slot from vibrating against the hose. I took the old hose and cut it to the length matching area where it rubbed against the nut. I then split it on the top side and securely wrapped it around the new hose and gently used plastic tie wraps around the outside. It would now have to wear thru the old jacket of the old thick rubber hose to be a problem. That thin outer black plastic mesh is not real protection from contact of sharp metal objects against the upper hose. [/QUOTE]
