Radiator hose size

[TYTILIDIE]

Is -16an big enough to use as radiator hose? I think I want to ditch the rubber hose and make my own out of AN fittings but am not sure that 16 would be big enough. Basically, the fittings I want to use that is the biggest they get.

These are the fittings I want to use http://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS/555/111025/10002/-1 -16 is as big as they get unfortunately. Hate to be a baby but if -16 wont work I just wont do it I guess. I need these to match all my other hose/fittings.

Peterson/Motor Sport(Peterson dry sump pumps) supply is about five miles away from me.......we can roll down there and get whatever size you need. Also look on c/v's web site for -20 stuff....


Nascar is doing alot of -22 radiator hoses/stat housings now.

Main question is will -16 work as a radiator hose since that is as far as the size goes in the color I want.

Re: Radiator hose size

What is the inside measurement of -16 fitting? Compare that to the inside of the gooseneck. If withing an 1/8th of an inch, i'd say run it.
