DATSUN 1600 SILICON RADIATOR HOSES

Post by hsepwr »

I noticed on my 1600 that after a good thrashing around the track that the radiator hoses where bulging from getting a little hot and I feel they are not really good enough. I am running brand new Gates hoses and was wondering if anyone has used anything better ie silicon etc

Check your radiator cap is releasing pressure

silicon will be the best hoses to use, but a fibre reinforced rubber hose will be good to. silicon is just real expensive
