Radiator Hoses Replacement

[jerryk]

I was trying to replace my 12 year old, original upper & lower radiator hoses and have been unable to find any listings at my Pontiac dealer or local parts stores. Can anyone out there provide an alternative GM part number or Gates hoses that would work?

Thanks for the Motorhead.com lead but I just checked their website and they no longer have any listings for 89 TTA upper or lower radiator hoses. I did find that you can use a Gates #21211 lower hose for an 87 Grand National on an 89 TTA. You'll need to cut off about 2 inches from the water pump end to make it fit but it works fine. Still need an alternative for the upper hose.

Actually, I heard that the GN upper hose can also be modified to fit. I think you need to cut a bit off of the radiator end.
