Product name:
Austin Healey Kevlar Top Hose - BN4-BJ8
Additional information:
Description:

Hand-made in the UK from Kevlar-reinforced rubber. This Austin Healey top radiator hose is formed with the correct angle to help the hose sit naturally without unnecessary tension at the joints, which can otherwise contribute to restricted coolant flow on poorly shaped alternatives.

Key Benefits

  • UK made – produced from Kevlar-reinforced rubber.
  • Correct formed angle – intended to reduce joint stress and help maintain a clean hose run.
  • Improved durability by design – Kevlar-reinforced rubber is chosen to cope better with temperature cycling than standard hoses.

Fitting notes and limitations

  • Inspect radiator and engine spigots for corrosion or pitting that can prevent a good seal.
  • Ensure the hose is fully seated before tightening clips evenly.
  • Recheck clip tension after the first full heat cycle.

FAQs

What makes this hose different to standard rubber hoses?

It is made from Kevlar-reinforced rubber to better cope with temperature cycling than standard hoses, and it is formed to the correct angle to reduce tension at the joints.

Does the formed angle actually matter?

Yes. A hose that sits under tension can be harder to seal and may not sit cleanly on the spigots. This hose is shaped to help it sit naturally on the standard BN4-BJ8 layout.

Which hose clip type should be used?

Jubilee clips offer the widest adjustment range. O.E. double wire clips are often chosen for a more original appearance, provided sizing is correct.

Should clips be rechecked after fitting?

Yes. Recheck clip tension after the first full heat cycle and again after a short settling-in period.
