Molded Hoses 4th Gen

[Bruce C.]

Does anyone know if somebody makes molded hoses for the 84-96 cars?

My car has eight molded water hoses, not counting the upper and lower radiator hoses, and I had fits trying to source them.

Of the eight that I bought from here and there, one of the oil cooler hoses is too short.

If these cars were just a bit older, they'd probably be available from the well-known aftermarket suppliers, as you well know.

I think I found the last oil cooler hose from someone called Universal Parts or something that buys up NOS material and sells it to aftermarket suppliers.

None of the popular sources had them.

Thanks in advance and please accept my apologies for the long, rant-sounding post.

Corvette Central, Mid America, Zip and I am sure you can still get them through your local GM dealer

The above includes 5 of the apparently 8 molded hoses you were referring to + the radiator inlet and outlet hoses. I don't know what other hoses you may be referring to. Advise and I may be able to tell you if they're available, or not.

Joe, there are also two hoses for the oil cooler.

It's a simple, optional affair consisting of the two hoses and a water jacket that surrounds the oil filter. Space age stuff.

I'll double check my IPC tonight though my version is not current.

At any rate, thanks so much for your interest and response.
