      Radiator hose ideas...

      What options are out there for radiator hoses besides 1) Rubber, 2) Stainless braid, and 3) Cool-flex (ribbed copper) ?

      have an exhaust shop bend you up something out of small diameter pipe, paint it black (or polish it if it's stainless and you want the bling), and install it using small sections of rubber hose with the screw heads of the clamps turned down so all you see from the top is a nice shiny band of stainless steel.

      yep, hard line is popular and gives a modern clean look. You can go one step further with Gates heat shrink ends instead of clamps, work great.
