Bob Drake 48-8262-59A Radiator Hose Kit 1935 1936 Ford 37-48 Flathead V8 Engine
type: Product
description: Putting a late flathead in an early car? This is the part that makes the radiator line up. Dropping a 1937-48 flathead into a 1935 or 1936 Ford is a well-worn path, and the cooling connections are where it usually gets ugly — wrong angles, wrong diameters, and somebody ends up splicing generic hose and hoping. Bob Drake solved it properly with a molded kit that connects the late motor to your early stock radiator with no modifications. This is that kit, complete and unused: 2 upper hoses, 2 lower hoses, and 8 stainless Ford-script hose clamps — the clamps still sealed in their inner bag. Bob Drake part number 48-8262-59A on the label, currently catalogued as HR-8262-CK. The hoses themselves are stamped HR-8262-C-1 and HR-8288-C-1. Drake holds a design patent on them, #D760877 — these are purpose-molded for this swap, not adapted from something else. The clamps are worth a word too. Stainless with the Ford script on the band, so the finished job looks like it belongs under the hood of an early car instead of looking like a parts-store fix. 🔧 Features and Details 🎯 Bob Drake 48-8262-59A — current catalog number HR-8262-CK 📦 Complete kit: 2 upper hoses, 2 lower hoses, 8 stainless Ford-script clamps — clamps still in their sealed inner bag 🔨 Molded to shape — connects a late motor to the early stock radiator with no modifications 📐 Design patent #D760877 ✅ Unused.
