NA: What is the piece that connects the two lower radiator hoses called?
 

I foolishly threw mine away last winter and am finding myself in need again.

You mean this right?

Thanks; found that literally right when you posted it :).

I replaced my 2 piece setup with the 1 hose from Moss Motors. I saw no point in having 2 hoses and 4 clamps. If I was you I'd just buy the new hose rather than buy that metal connector. :2cents:

The pipe is good if you want to clear an a/c compressor... or smoke a bowl.

Unfortunately I learned of the 1 piece hose on the 99+ about 2 seconds after ordering my new silicone hoses :crx:. I would just get the one piece but I had just spent 82 bucks on the silicone ones.

That sucks dude. Yeah they aren't listed for our NA's, but that's what you use to replace the 2 piece setup. Its also flexible enough to work with plenty of different IC setups. I cant speak on fitment for A/C though, don't have that.

No AC/PS here, engine bay is as open as can be. Everything without those two is so much better.

Must be easy for you to go w/o ac in MN. Ive tried it for two summers here, and im putting the ac back in. Good thing I kept that water pipe.

Not necessarily - it hits 85, 90 degrees on a fairly regular basis here. Summer is hotter than hell, winter is enough to freeze your testicles.

I don't DD the Miata though, DD is an a6 WITH air con and I couldn't go without it in that beast.

Fixed so I can use it for myself. Panic charged me $19. Definitely worth it. (Plus I was replacing my radiator already.)
