No need it's irrelevant.

You want the standard sized ARP studs.

That's all you really need to know.

hi bill, supramacist,

can you send me some pictures of all the coolant hoses if possible,
thinking about replacing them. not sure how many there are, cheers.

Upper and Lower radiator hoses.
Upper head hose right at the rear of the head behind the spark plug galley.
Lower block hose back behind those pesky starter bolts.

Those are the main ones right off the top of my head.

Hi Andy,these are from the EPC DVD (Electronics Part Catalogue) this should cover most of them. The numbers on the drawings are not the Toyota part numbers, they are just figure numbers. When the EPC software is installed you just click on the figure # and then click execute and up pops the Toyota part # and price. Please note the drawings are from a 7M-GTE UK model.

Missed one, properly the most likely to need replacing is in red, this connects to the back of the head.
