I'm putting in a new engine and radiator in my Mustang so I though I might as well get some new radiator hoses to connect the two. I was just at Hot August Nights and all of the cars had these nice Chrome Flex Radiator hoses and I was wondering where I could find a good set of those, upper and lower. If anyone has any tips, that would be great, thanks.

They look nice but if they exert pressure on one side or the other of respective radiator connection, they will pull it loose. Now, if you're talking about covers, no problem, but otherwise beware. By the way, my dad grew up near Morgan Hill.

How about the standard molded hoses with the mesh covers? The hoses won't put pressure on he in/oulet and they look cool too. Plus you can get the covers for the heater hoses, too....just a thought....
