KA24E w/AC lower radiator hose Question. (fan switch related)
 

In my efforts to locate this part, 21503-40F65, i have apparently reached a dead end.

my initial intent was to source this hose in order to utilize the metal coupling tube to install a thermostatic switch to turn on my electric fan.

Just to make my intentions more known, I am installing an S14 SR20DE into my 1979 620 pickup.

Has anyone been able to source a suitable replacement for such a piece? is there perhaps a better option? Ideally, id really like to keep as many genuine nissan parts on my build, knowing that I can usually source OE quality parts (even if not Nissan branded) through several vendors.

I am new here, and im just looking for some assistance here. I am new to the japanese car world, and so far have been very pleased with the amount of knowledge that has been shared up to this point!

you guys have a wonderful forum here, and i hope to be able to contribute more as time passes.
