Can anyone tell me what size the top and bottom radiator hoses are on my 97 standard Valk. I am wanting to order hose clamp covers but need to know hose size. Don't want to drain radiator till I get clamps. Any help appreciated. cooldude

Just in case nobody knows, you can calculate the diameter of the hose from its circumference.  This thread may help.

1.25" diameter is what I remember. I hope someone will confirm.

I measured the one I have and the OD is 1 3/8"

Word of advice when buying the hose clamp covers online, make sure it says polished aluminum or stainless steel because if you dont see that in the description you will receive a chrome covered piece of plastic and they scratch very easily.
