CapeSport multi-ply silicone bottom radiator hose for Austin Healey BN4 to BJ8 models where a bottom hose with heater take-off is required. Formed as a direct replacement on the standard cooling layout, it suits routine cooling system refresh work and hose replacement.
Fits: Austin Healey BN4, BN6, BN7, BT7, BJ7 and BJ8 where the cooling layout uses a bottom hose with heater take-off.
Excludes: BN1 and BN2. Not suitable for BN4-BJ8 cars that use the no heater take-off bottom hose configuration. Not suitable for non-standard cooling conversions that change hose routing or connection sizes.
Main radiator hose ends:
Heater take-off joint (1/2 inch):
If a smaller heater hose connects at the bottom hose, the heater take-off version is required. If there is no small hose connection at the bottom hose, use the no heater take-off version instead.
No. BN1 and BN2 models use different bottom hose routing and a different hose specification.
The heater take-off connection uses a smaller heater hose joint, which clamps with 1/2 inch heater hose clips.
Main hose ends can use Jubilee or O.E. double wire clips. The heater take-off joint uses 1/2 inch clips. Correct sizing and even tightening matter more than clamp style.
Yes. Recheck clamp tension after the first full heat cycle, especially on silicone hoses.
