Short Description:  Coolant Radiator Hoses

Over the past couple of days I've been looking at fitting the radiator hoses. Sling supplies 3 hoses from which we are to produce the two "hose assemblies". After much measuring and procrastination, I cut the 3rd hose in the hopefully correct positions and using the supplied joiners loosely installed them. I had started to wrap the right side hose with heat shield but my method increases the diameter of the hose such that it passes very close to the #3 exhaust pipe. I've ordered some heat shield sleeve that will not have that issue so I'll now wait for that to arrive before continuing installing the hoses. I've also ordered some dual bead, constant tension clamps for these hoses as the worm drive clamps supplied in the kit tend to pinch the hose.
