I've got the cooler. The sandwich plate/thermostat and new air dam are on the way. Now I have to decide what kind of hose to use. I think that braided hose is overkill...it looks cool, but no one will ever see it and it looks like a PITA to work with. Does anyone have experience with the slip fit "barbed" fittings and hose that Aeroquip, Russell and others sell. The fittings are rated to 200psi, which should be more than enough...plus much less expensive.
Any suggestions apprecitated BH |

I thought about hard lines. What do you guys think? pros/cons? Race car, so I don't care much about how they look when i run them through the interior of the car.
What kind of material to use? aluminum? steel? I would have the hardlines through the straightest part of the car, then have braided to the cooler and braided to the sandwich plate. I know what brad is going to say, "more stuff that can fail" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/boid.gif) |
