Put some Braided stainless steel Sleeves on my Radiator hoses

EDIT: Just click the link in my sig, I dont know how to post pictures on this site, they are on page 2 at the very bottom.

Umm I dont know which ones I put up and where. I probably posted them both twice but the turkeys almost ready. Just thought Id share how it is coming along. I need to do a little touch up and hoses a few more wires.

It was a pain to put on but since I needed a new radiator anyways I went for it.

That looks pretty good. I would like to do the same thing when I put my other engine back in.

It was a HUGE pain in the ***, I will not do sleeves again. Next time I will go with the real stainless steel lines that are bonded to the hose. While putting the hose back onto the fitting I had trouble with the sleeves twisting up, and although you cant see it in the picture really you notice in person.

It does add a nice tough to the engine bay though.
