When I took my 1950 3100 apart, I tossed my radiator hoses. I ordered new ones figuring they needed to be replaced. Ordered new ones from LMC or Brothers or someplace and the lower is wrong. Upper radiator openings both require 1.25” ID hose. Lower is 1.25 at the radiator but 1.5” at the water pump. THe hose I got is 1.25 at both ends.

I assume this is due to the engine being swapped to a 235 at some point. Anyone know what the right hose is?
