Anyone know the top radiator hose size on 5VZ-FE

Sticking some gauges in my 90 series & will be looking at another temp gauge. I'm thinking of using an inline radiator hose adapter but not sure what size i need. Is it 34 mm internal diameter?

Like this one:

Also, the temp sender i have is nptf...Will this give any issues in a female npt fitting?

Cheers & thanks

G'day hawks667,

While i cant help you with your Prado question, my V6 hilux shares the same motor. Im not sure if your top hose is the same as my 'lux's.
I did a radiator on mine a couple of years ago ( hit some water a bit quick, broke fan and fan bits damaged the radiator). I couldnt find a hose the day i needed it, but i looked the the gates part book and found the VR Commodore ran the same shape, diameter, and pressure rated house. The down side is it was 50mm too long at the rad. side. A quick trim and no one can tell the difference. And it was about $10 cheaper than one to suit the hilux
