Hand-made in the UK from Kevlar-reinforced rubber. This bottom radiator hose suits the standard Austin Healey BN4 to BJ8 cooling layout where a bottom hose without heater take-off is required, and is intended as a direct replacement when renewing ageing hoses.
Fits: Austin Healey BN4, BN6, BN7, BT7, BJ7 and BJ8 where the cooling layout uses a bottom hose without heater take-off.
Excludes: BN1 and BN2 bottom hose applications. Not suitable where a bottom hose with heater take-off is required. Not suitable for modified cooling conversions that change routing or connection sizes.

Yes, provided the cooling layout uses a bottom hose without heater take-off. If a heater take-off is needed, use the bottom hose with heater pipe variant.
The reinforced rubber is chosen to cope better with temperature fluctuations than standard hoses, supporting longer service life in regular use.
Jubilee clips offer the widest adjustment range. O.E. double wire clips are often chosen for a more original appearance, provided sizing is correct.
Yes. Recheck clip tension after the first full heat cycle.
