Coolant leak at quick connect repair tips please - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Locobob · 01-16-2022

I was just thinking about this. I don't currently have a leak but those hoses are 30 years old and I'm in the process of redoing my radiator set-up so it crossed my mind that maybe this would be the ideal time to freshen things up. Has anyone installed AN fittings on the thermostat housing and run new hose all the way back like Jerry mentioned?

I swiped this off CF for a 427 ZR-1 for sale. Not sure of exactly what is going on but could be what Jerry mentioned.
