Post by: 1969shelbygt350 on March 29, 2020, 04:22:15 PM
This is upper radiator  hose I purchased from Branda for my 1969 Shelby. It says Marti Auto Works.
But does have anything in the hose. Texture looks not right. Please help

The lower hose can come with a spring in it and is better with one IMO. The upper hose does not need a spring if that is what you are asking. The texture on the hose looks great and very similar to assemblyline compared to typical smooth no texture repros and service replacements .

Just to help illustrate for you and others watching :)

Different applications and hoses- same expected and original look

The ink stamp on the repro's are usually covered up with plastic and a label to protect them from getting scuffed.
