Custom radiator hose suggestions......
I am nearing completion on my build now. And I have realized that the stock rubber hose will not work on my car now. With the installation of the March Perf serpentine kit the tensioner rod for the alternator is affecting the route the hose must make now. I have cut up a stock hose and bent it to shape, then taped it back together as a template. I took that to the parts store where they let me walk their aisles trying to match it up. All with no luck. So now I am stuck with no upper hose.
Any suggestions? I know I can do a Kool Flex style hose. I have never had good luck with them, they seemed to leak on me. Even had one friends that blew off on him. I thought about making one out of ss, but wonder how to put a bead around the ends to keep the hose on.
I had been hoping for a nice clean black hose, but that is starting to seem unlikely.
Any suggestions?
