    I am looking for the part numbers for the molded radiator hoses for a Dauntless V6 in a flatty.

    Your local parts store should be able to look those up for you.

    Another option, which is the one I had to use last year, is to take an old hose to your FLAPS and get one with the correct bends then cut to fit...

    I went to RackAuto.com and looked up Gates numbers 20355 and 21660. They also show the Delco numbers.

    Thanks for the numbers timgr, unfortunately they do not fit my Jeep. I will have to post in the flat fender forum to see if they have some part#.

    Because the v6 engine is in a Flatty.

    Not trying to be rude or mean or anything but that is info that should have been in the original post so the fine folks here could be helpful with accurate info. Working from incomplete info simply makes for innacurate advice and info.

    Being a conversion there will be no stock #'s that can be looked up. Someone may have a part # that worked for them, but again being a conversion it may or may not work for you as each conversion is just a little different. Engine location, radiator used, radiator positioning, etc. all come into play here and will have an effect on the hoses needed. You may want to consider posting some pics of your set up and that may be helpful for you to get the info you seek. :beer:

    I used rubber molded hoses....225 in a flatty with 4 cyl radiator
    but I had to try several to get the correct bends/angles I wanted
    I used welding rod to form up and match to the hoses
    I suppose universal flex hose would work as well
    as Nick states, no set hose part numbers.

    Nick I do understand what you are saying, and I was not trying to be misleading. At the time I posted the original Q I had been told that the radiator, engine, trans and t-case were from a late 60's cj5. So that led me to believe that hoses from a v6 cj5 would work in this application. I have since found out more accurate info thus tried to repost this up in the flatty section with said info in the question. But it was deleted by panzer stating I was cross posting, so now I am sort of stuck here in the wrong forum section trying to get the info I need.
    jpflat2a, Nick; I do understand that there is no conventional way to look up the application to get the hoses I am looking for because this is a conversion. But should someone whom has done this swap kept records of what they used I could at least narrow my search down to what hoses have worked for their swap.
    I hope this explains better where I am coming from, and sorry for any confusion I caused. I am not upset Nick and I did understand what you said in the beginning. Unfortunately my first question got me off on the wrong track due to bad info I had ben told. I tried to get back onto the right track but was deleted so I must stay here and try my best.

    what radiator are you using ?
    a 4 cyl radiator lower outlet has to be moved to the passenger side.
    I suppose a stock 4cyl radiator hose might work, but it depends on the positiong/length of the lower outlet once moved.

    Hey, we all fumble now and again, no big deal. Being as you're working on a Flatfender and it is a conversion then it does actually belong in the Flatfender section, hence why it was moved by the mods.
    Like was mentioned, each conversion is a little different so pics are worth a thousand or so words. If you've got some that could be helpful as well.

    I like Jpflat2a's suggestion about using coat hangar wire or something similar to create the shape you need then comparing to what your FLAPS has to offer or can order for you. May take a couple of tries but if want molded hoses that probably is going to be the best way to get what you want. Remember, the sheet metal and engine bays are significantly different in the Flatty to the CJ so there are lots of variables there. :beer:

    blev- Agreed I never said it wasn't a cross post, I understood why panzer deleted it. I should have asked first for the other thread to be deleted or to be moved to FF tech.
    jpflat- I believe i is a cj5 radiator because it is the same an two other known cj5 radiators I have. Top hose connects on the left, bottom hose connects on the right.
    nick- I can take pics, but I am new to my mac and I can't resize photos in iphoto. If I post right from the card reader then they have great detail but too big. I will try to resize them again.

    I tried to resize the pics but I can't. Besides it looks to me that the only way to post an image is to link to another photo hosting site. I do not have any such site.
