Hi there:

There was a guy running hard pipes of 3/4" ID.... I use to have a link but doesn't work. Does anyone knows if that configuration ever worked...?

Would like to hear from that guy....

I have the opportunity to get 3/4 in ID SS braided hoses....


Thanks..!!!

I have heard of people using 3/4 id hoses...and I've heard of people using copper (don't like) but it seems a wee bit small. I use 1" and 1 1/4" Gates Green stripe hoses through the heater ducts in the longitudinals. No hoses hanging under the car waiting to be wiped out on a speed bump. It takes a bit of effort to snake the lines through and to fabricate cut outs through the forward longs and forward firewalls...but if done correctly, you'll have a clean install and two continuous hoses from the engine to the radiator. More importantly, you can route the hoses in such a way that there are absolutely no sharp 90 degree bends to disrupt flow. Call Rod Simpson. He believes in the small diameter method.
