Thanks Ed,
After checking the batteries, I think I am going with a 51 series
also...it is not a special order and cheaper than the 29NF.
I spent half a day going to different shops and comparing radiator hoses to
see if there was one I could trim that would work. No luck. I finally
ordered a set from Cool Flex... they have a website http://www.coolflex.com/
. They are pricey but have a lifetime guarantee and should look great. I
got a 36" kit and extra ends..this will be cut to make the 2 hoses. They
sell adapters and reducers to fit the different sizes on the
engine/radiator.
cheers,
Irv
