Im doing it on my car, I have fittings to weld to my rad and water pump, but my question is for those of you that did it what for angle ends did you need? I dont have my engine in my car right now so I cant tell where my WP sits for sure, I can only guess and at the price of fittings for BIG AN lines I dont want to order the wrong ones, I know on one of the message boards Im on someone did it but I dont remember witch one.

 

why?

 

I have a custom rad and need to to get diffrent hoses, so why not, braided lines will last forever you never need to worry about them and they look so much better.

 

You know braided lines are still rubber underneath. And I'm not sure the life would offset the cost. I'm not even sure you can get them

 

yes its still rubber underneath but there better rubber its even made for fuel use up to -2an and braided line keep them from swelling so they dont blow out, I need custom lines since the rad I got has diffrent fittings on there than my pump, Im ont a fan of the conversion hoses to step the size down I have those hoses here I paid 60 bucks a piece for those and there not worth a dam. really once you have all the fittings the only thing that cen go wrong is the hose I can do my main rad hoses with 1 3 foot peice of hose, thats 60 bucks, its the fittings that are expensive, I want this thing to look nice and never have a problem, I spent so much money on this car what another 500 bucks for hoses that will last.


I already have hoses and some weld in fittings for the job

 

they also make a lighter weight non stainless braided hose somewhere. It looks good and is strong and light.
