My lower rad hose is the same as Dusk Blue Z,s post. I did some measuring and the GMAU starts 2&5/8 from the end and go,s to 3&5/8th, ( 1" in length) It face s almost straight up from the lower neck rad outlet. The GMAU letters are 3/4" tall. You would read it from the centreline of the car if you were standing from the front. The part number is below the GMAU. The part number only has a few digits visible. It also has the stripe but i would say the colour ( whats left of it) is more white? than blue? The stripe had lots of little stripes along the length and they are trapped? by a upper and lower continous line the hole length of the hose. I have owned the car 33 years, 44,000 miles. I took the hose off the car a few years ago, it had some weather cracks and i did not want to risk using it. My top hose is long gone. My car is 06A by the way. Hope this helps somewhat. Mike.
