Planning on doing a coolant drain & fill, and would replace the radiator hoses if I can find a set of NOS hoses.
If anybody has the factory part numbers so I can start looking, they would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Just purchased my '85 TurboCoupe 5-speed from the original owner in Plymouth, MI. It's 100% factory original with only 40K miles!

E8SZ-8260-E Hose,radiator upper 4Cyl. 18.45

E8SZ-8286-D Hose,radiator lower 4Cyl. 33.57

These are 87-88 part numbers, but, though I could be wrong, I'm thinking they are the same as yours.

Just ordered a set from a Ford dealer
on the East Coast. They only had 1 of
each left and wanted to move them.
The latest list on the bottom hose was just
over $100 (confirmed by 2 other dealers!).
This dealer cut me a deal on it at $40!!
Now if I could just find 4 NOS hose clamps!
Thanks again B for your info.
