    New Part # deuce lower rad. hose

    In the first post, 2027deuce told us he trimmed 1" from each end.

    The instructions come with all the water heater kits for the deuce or M35 or 34 gassers. Also with the fuel fired heater kits for deuces and 5 tons. Or just put it up on the grill and it will show you where the loops go. JT
