I got mine from http://www.radiator.com
The DOHC DelSol is not listed on the website but this is the email response I got after asking about it.

"The part you will need is our number 1570. That works for a m/t
Vtech engine. You may either get Koyo OEM or an aftermarket, be sure you tell the tech that you were browsing our website and got a choice of either OEM for $126 or an aftermarket for $117."

I ordered the $117 aftermarket one quickly, they were very helpful. They must have been b/o on the aftermarket one be cause I recieved the KOYO replacement instead. Very good service I highly recommend them.

Damnit! I wish I knew about that before I bought a Del Sol Radiator for my stock 93 hatch. I bought it from radiators.com-great service and product, but I had to get the larger hoses to match the radiator up to my stock motor. I ended up getting a flex hose for the top and a Del Sol Vtec hose for the bottom.

With the absoluteradiator.com product it looks like you can use your stock hoses if you're still running a SOHC engine.

Thanks for that link! I'll be sure to use it in the future.

all you had to do was get metal screw type clamps mang...not need to get new hoses.
