I wasn't sure where to post this but I figured the older engine crowd was the most likely to have braided radiator hoses.

SO, my question is where can I find the fittings and hose for upper and lower radiator hoses?

Also does the radiator need to be fabbed diffrently from the maker to accept the fittings or will an off the shelf rad work? What size fittings are you guys using?

I'm setting up my 97 and I'm going with a vertical radiator. I'm using a griffin.

Thanks

I just check out Summit or Jegs. Believe it or not, I have seen that stuff at Advance Auto parts.

Like hairbear said, Summit or Jegs. http://store.summitracing.com/egnsea...=KeywordSearch You will have to have your welder cut the necks off of the Griffin radiator and weld in these bungs, I believe others have used -20 AN.

Same with the fittings on your water pump, then you just choose the -20 AN fittings you need to complete the lines.

Thanks for the info.

I've found another cheaper way to do it but I'm not sure which route I'm going to go yet.

They make this braid hose sleath that you can slide over the rubber hose then put a AN look-a-like fitting over the hose clamps.

Kinda of a cheater way to get it done but might be worth a shot.

That's all that braided hose is anyway.
