2 radiator hoses, both are 1.5" Save the effort and get the hose with factory bends. You do not have to buy this at the dealer. Parts stores will have/can get them.

^what he said. Parts stores stock them. They're usually "trim to fit".

sounds like the line from the thermowax. easier to use a preformed line but I just use 3/8" line.
