B18C in a DC2; the hoses are longer compared to a B16A in and EG.

However, if you have a B18C in an EG or an EK; this would be a different case. You might want to check with people have this type of configuration.

note: DC2 uses the long type radiator (airdcond in front & radiator at the back). while EG and EK uses the short type radiator (aircond & radiator side by side). thus the length of the hose might vary.

I'm using eg/ek samco hose in my ef and there's no issue.
Important is it's for B16/B18 then you'll be fine.The extra length does not make a lot of differences.

Thanks for tryin 2 share some of ur input....

4 those interested 2 know, i hav managed to get a physical comparison n yes the b18c for the dc2 chasis hoses r in fact longer by nearly 3 inches esp the top hose than the b16a in a eg. (thanks Chris!)
