Braided Radiator hoses?

Anybody know of any braided radiator hoses for a 390? I have found braided hose for the rest under the hood but can't seem to find radiator hoses big enough. Thanks guys.

I don't know what you used for the rest of your hoses, but the local Checker auto parts here carries braided coverings for various sizes and types of hose....they have whole kits for dressing up the engine and I'm sure one of them is big enought for the radiator hose.

Those hose coverings won't fit over the big radiator hoses. I didn't have much luck with the braided coverings so I ended up buying prebraided hoses for everything else but can't seem to find any to fit the main radiator hoses on the FE. Thanks for the thought though.

Hey you might try Jeg's or Summit Racing Equipment. They have all types of hoses that you can cut to fit. Don't know if they have anything in your size. Both have Tech Lines that you can call. They have been very helpful for me. Hope that helps.
