Well, all of the survivors and original hoses I've seen are the ones I'm making and were mostly Norwood cars. So I think the majority would have this hose and im sure the Judges wouldn't points off for it either way. If I get a large request for the one you have maybe I can do it but like I said, its probably the minority because there were different suppliers.

I now have a set of nos upper and lower 1970 Trans Am rad hoses in my possession. I will be making stamps this week.

What judging standards do you address?

The Norwalk?

TA Nats are more of a beauty contest..

Not Norwalk LOL, that's a joke. Hopefully the TA nats will get up to speed one day, I know their working on it. As far as GTO nats, POCI and MCACN go, these should pass.

I've hit a snag on the lower hoses. Cant find a supplier with the original shape hose. Anyone have any idea where to get them?

Are there any Goodyear hose retailers in your area? Last time I checked, those were fairly close.

roundportponchos, those are nice! NOS and correct for a 70. So I have the stamps now for the upper and lower 70 hoses but cannot get a correct shaped lower hose so I will only be doing the uppers until I can find the correct shape lower, however if someone has the correct lower, I can stamp it.

Let me correct myself, the lower you have is for 72 and up, should be a 201 for 70-71

201

[roundportponchos]

So I need the 201?

Yes, if you have a 70-71.

My original 1970 lower hose has the 200 part number. Can post pics tonight.
