Description
The Mishimoto Silicone Lower Radiator Hose (MMHOSE-GM-2L) replaces the aging rubber lower radiator hose on your classic Chevrolet Chevelle with a five-layer silicone construction built to resist the cracking and collapsing that plagues old rubber. This Classic Line piece was engineered as a direct fit for the 1965-1967 Chevrolet Chevelle equipped with a 283 or 327 engine, and it ships in black with two worm-gear clamps included so installation is straightforward.
As part of Mishimoto’s Cooling lineup, this silicone lower radiator hose is built from five layers of silicone reinforced with heat-resistant embedded fibers, giving it a level of heat and pressure tolerance that rubber hoses simply can’t match over time. Rated to withstand temperatures up to 330°F, it’s designed for owners who daily-drive their classic or take it out for weekend cruises and want cooling-system reliability they don’t have to think about. Every Mishimoto silicone hose in the Classic Line, including this one, is backed by the Mishimoto Lifetime Warranty.
