    Question Thermostat bypass hose

     



    I'm hoping someone can help me source a few parts I am having trouble getting in Australia. I need a thermostat bypass hose for a 454, a pinion seal for a stock 57 chev diff and some info on wiring and operation of wiper motor for the same.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Bypass hoses for a 454 are a little hard to come by here too. A nice short bend preformed heater hose will supply a functional one.

    Thanks guys I have sourced a heater hose with the right angle. I got a peice of wire and bent it to the right angle and length for the outside of the hose. Then I put the verniers on both outlets and went shopping. With a small amount of trimming I have a hose that looks original and fits likes a glove. If anyone else needs one I can give the part number in Oz. (its of a toyota 4 pot four wheel drive and I know you have them over there)
