If the local Falcon hoses don't fit then go for the "Tank" Fairlaines.They're a perfect fit. Don't know the model  or exact year ,we just called them Tanks. Maybe ZA ,B or C. Any other members elaborate. Repco should have them.

I'm not sure on the Tank prefix letters, but I'm almost certain they're 72-78. XA to XC era.
Why be standard, when custom is so much more fun!!!

Easiest way is to take your hoses off and take them down to your local Supercheap or similar and match them up.
Our 64 1/2 with 289 had an XT top hose and ZC? Fairlane bottom hose?
Our car has an XW Falcon radiator in it.
