I wanna say 34MM

Bryants95240sx · 04-19-2007, 09:06 PM

35mm or 1 3/8"

SR radiator hoses use 34mm water temp adapters - so I'd say 34mm ID hose
KA radiator hoses use 36mm water temp adapters - 36mm ID hose

Hope that helps!

radiator hoses stretch pretty good so its safer to buy the bigger sized stuff if you dont know what you are dealing with

if u go to small the hose will just leak, but if its stretched a little bit its not gonna hurt anything

1 11/32". Which would be 34mm as others have said.

You just contradicted yourself. When in doubt, what should one do, go bigger or smaller?

Also, each hose has a size variation tolerance of 1-2mm at most. Stretching a hose will damage the weave over time = leak.
