Alright my original "old school" Renegade H. radiator is leaking. Now those of you that put together your cooling setup, what Aluminum radiator did you run from Summit or Jegs? Or other online source?

That is the only hose I would run on my car. It's really not that expensive either. To buy the hoses from Renegade or Rod Simpson, you would spend $100 just for the hoses, I get it across the street from my house from Mesa Hose and it cost me $80 for both hoses. We used it on Joe Buckles car too when we replaced all the hoses on his car. It is some really tough hose. The only hose better would be the Silicone hose they sell, that however, is expensive, it was like $13 something a foot.
Yes, you run it from the radiator to the engine, no connections in between. |

I'm very new to this but studying hard to get up to speed, can you get the marine hose inside the tunnel or is this out of the question? Coud you run the hose individually down each side in the rocker area? I'm just trying to not have it on the bottom of the pan. Also I have the subie wrx radiator and fans from the donor. I was hoping to use the condensor and radiator as they came out of the car. Won't that work? Fieros had a neat place on either side of the tank to run everything but have a huge tunnel and small interior I guess it's all a compromise. back to the homework. Charlie |
