According to the parts suppliers of aftermarket - the 92 >94 are different in the lower radiator hose. Instead of the regular 85 <91 EA82 ? mark shape lower hose with 30mm ID, they are an S shape and 27, 28mm ends.

Do these later models have the radiator hose outlet at a right angle instead of 45 degree upwards ?

Nope. The '92 L I had was exactly the same as every other L series I've seen.

You need to be careful in that range of years as I've found some aftermarket parts suppliers mix up L series and Liberty of the same years from time to time...

Stick with the standard L lower radiator hose and you can't go wrong

says EA82 Leone, but yeah, know what that means in many catalogues.Gave it a miss.

One day, someone, probably in the Latin market, will stumble across a Lib or Leg running EA82, Lib/Leg radiator and need that Gates hose

I have just fitted up the super efficient L Series EA82 single core radiator in my Brumby so i can use the pump driven clutch fan as it pulls way more than the electric fan dizzy side, can run the five blade electric fan on the turbo side. The twin core MY radiator was too short, too stocky to run the L Series stuff. I think new L radiators are way cheaper than new Brumby radiators, I have more spare bits for future use if needed along the L Series stuff.

To mount L radiator, I trimmed the pins down enough to allow the next bracket to fit over, remain there in case EA81 rad gos back. I pinched the female brackets from a shot MY radiator bum, inverted, placed on shelf below radiator, riveted in place, using top rad hose as a positioning guide for the males of the L rad bumto fit in. The height when sitting on these brackets is perfect. MY rad a few cores higher than L core.
.
The top steps in towards engine a little - 10mm, so is spaced out or in, rather.
Will also allow normal L rad hoses, not my joined hoses
