Need help identifying different radiator hoses for 1st gen rx7
All, I recently got an 81 track car. The radiator seems to have been swapped to the later-style (83-85) tall radiator. For some reason, they kept a stock radiator, I'm assuming to comply with a certain series rules. My question is what kind of hoses do I need to use? Also, does it have the right kind right now? Please see the photo below. Thanks!

The hoses appear to be aftermarket replacement hoses. They appear to be the correct shape. The upper hose is too long, as it appears that its butting up to the radiator too much. Other than that they look ok. A set of black silicone radiator hoses would be a nice addition though. Or some oem hoses and clamps. Those would look amazing as well!

Thanks for the response. So, should I be using the 1983-1985 hoses? I want to flush the coolant, replace the thermostat, and at the same time replace the hoses.
