Radiator hoses

Post by Bguetter »

My Cobra just turned over 50k miles and from what i can tell all the original hoses are still on the car. I'll be driving the car a little more, so i'm thinking of doing some preventative maintenance.

1. Would you change out all the hoses since they are 20+ years old?

2. Where can i get correct replacement hoses?

I'm sure there is mixed feeling on this, IMO your car looks to be well taken care of so I wouldn't bother with them until the need. Are you gonna be taking it on a 500 mile tour? If so you can for peace of mind, just keep the originals for if when you decide to sell, or show the car.
