Hey guys,

I removed my A/C, and when I put my radiator back in after I took out the condensor. I noticed the bend going to the water pump was a pretty sharp bend. I dont understand, before the stock lower hose worked fine, but now it has this bend in it. Unless I never noticed it before, but no matter...I want to use the right one before I fill it back up with coolant. So what haose are you guys using with the Griffin aluminum radiator?

I used my stock bottom radiator and flipped it around and trim a couple inches off of it...(just keep trimming it off until that bend dissapears) and then I put wd40 on the insides of the rubber hose and it slides on...then you just clamp them down and your good to go...

I think their is a certain part # for a specific hose that fits nearly perfectly but I don't know what it is...I just know on mine I have no problems and it looks like stock...

Good Luck man
