Oh damn .. maybe

It looks like there's a few more.

Maybe you can find one the right size. There are lots of people 3D printing stuff. You might be able to bring the radiator and one of the hoses to a 3D printer guy and they might be able to make it.


For the pictures, you can open image in new tab, get the URL of the image, and embed them here on the page inside the img tag.
Unfortunately that connector on the radiator doesn't seem to be the typical made for quick connector hose. Those blind plugs to replace quick connector hose are readily available on all typical sizes.

Thanks! This is tne most useful thing I've seen in this thread. I'd need to wallow out the clearance hole in the adapter plate and I'd need to find some more information in the description that shows what OD it's designed to go over. But it's definitely something I'm going to put in the back of my mind.
