Dropping a C&R in the car (1.6) and of course they didn't use the stock hose attachment.  Looks like you need a stock hose, but with the middle (straight) section about 5" longer.  Before I go hunting for a new hose, surely someone has already done this research and has a part #?  Also the long thin overflow hose needs to be longer?  Part #?  TIA!

Did you ask the vendor who sold you the radiator which hose fits?

You can try what worked for my not quite long enough top hose, just go to Home Depot and get a short section of the blk steel gas pipe

(believe it was 1" dia.) and fit in the cut section of the stock upper hose parallel to radiator with a couple of hose clamps. If you want have an

adapter welded into pipe for a temp sensor. Todd you need to get back out to Miller so i have somebody else to try and catch up to.

Dayco 71679  allows you to trim it to fit.  They can cross reference Gates etc.  This is what I use on a 99, I don't know if the 1.6 is different.  If you look at it you will be able to tell if it will work.

napa 8804 / gates 22133 for a 1.6

I did, and they don't. That would be too logical and simple. Thanks for the part numbers guys!

I also talked to Sean @ Miata Cage and he said they used Gates 21439 on their 99's. Comparing it to the other suggestions (and what the O'Reilly's had in stock; they didn't have the 22133) it seemed like the best bet. Trim a bit off each end and it fits perfectly.
