Radiator hose set experience/ review - update #1 / #2

[rainingagain]

ok, maybe someone can help me out. I've looked at several threads and they all have different part numbers and when I cross reference them on line, none seem to match up with what I need. the Toyota dealer tried to look them up and was helpless.

Bipass hose:
16282-50040
16261-50090

Radiator hose: I only ever see 2 part numbers listed. I have 2 lower and 1 upper. Are people cutting the lower to fit in the heater pipe?
16571-50150
16572-50150
or
90916-01056
90916-01058
or
16571-60041
16572-61010

Thanks in advance

I had to trim the OEM bypass hose by quite a bit to get it to not be kinked.

Took one for the team - education is expensive... now we know

Thread 'Where to Buy a full set of 74 Radiator Hoses'

Aug 20, 2021

Hi,
I noticed CCOT no longer sells their full sets of radiator hoses. I'm looking to get a full set for my 74 FJ.

Any recommendations on where to pickup a full set?

Thanks,

John

These went on my ‘75.

Thanks ranchdawg! That’s helpful!
I got impatient and order the same except for the upper hose, which I got PN 16571-61040

From the pictures, they look the same?

 

[ranchdawg]

They look the same to me.

Hopefully, this will be the final chapter in this post:
I went through several of the other posts on the subject - A lot of different numbers, many of the numbers have changed over the years etc
here is what I went with and thankfully, everything fit perfectly (I did end up trimming about 1/2" off the upper hose but I do have an aftermarket radiator). I am fortunate that the local dealer has the good prices and it only took a couple of days to get them in.

I know there was some discussion on my eBay hoses being non-reinforced, which they were not, and it was especially obvious once they were heated/ pressurized. Looks like the factory upper and bypass hose are reinforced while the lower 2 are not

just a few more pictures of location in case there is any confusion.. It's a '76 2F in a '72

on a side note: I get all the hoses on and start filling the radiator when I notice a drip on the floor - the drain petcock is leaking. I try snugging it down a little but no good. drain it all out again - DOH!! fortunately, easy fix with a new o-ring.
first test drive and everything is holding
