Ok for the past weekend I have been thinking about how i would go about doing this upgrade. I want steel braided hoses. What would I need to do to do this? I would need to weld on the threads to the thermastat housings and to my rad.?? I use a fluidyne rad. What do you guys think? Who can help me do this is so cal??'

Show me ur setups and any advice would be great. Thank you -- alex

I also made a post in the weld/fab forums but no response there, hope i can get some feedback here thank you

 

Jared gave me some good info! Now if anyone has done this on the board and have some pix that would be great!

 

-16 AN on my buddy's car I did. Hit me up if you need some help.

 

thats alot of money in fittings and hose!!!!

 

thanks for the replys guys. I went ahead and pm'ed the guy that posted the pic

 

i have -16, -20, and -12 male weld bungs if anyone needs them.

we run -20 coolant lines on our cars.

 

Be carefull with the braided coolant lines on a street car. The stiffness of the hose translates to added stress on the radiator. Things fatigue fast.

 

well i got mine all done i will post some pics later when i get back, -20 is the way to go in this case but 16 will work too
