[QUOTE="crash2, post: 1499395, member: 15940"] So here is the stock thermostat housing/upper radiator neck assembly. [IMG]http://www.nw-wheelers.com/Crashfab/Chris-toy/chris-189.jpg[/IMG] The configuration of the neck and radiator was going to make getting a hose to fit a pain. Well I formulated a new idea why not make the neck so an easier hose could be sourced and just basically make a better setup. This ended up being a lil bit of work to get everything where it needed to be. One nice aspect for modding the OEM neck is the fact its steel with the base being 3/8" thick so welding to it without causing any warpage will be a piece of cake. I ended up using 1.5" tubing which is perfect since the hole in the base is roughly the same ID as the .120 wall tubing ID and the neck on the rad is also 1.5"--It all just seemed like a perfect match. But here is what I came up with. [IMG]http://www.nw-wheelers.com/Crashfab/Chris-toy/chris-190.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.nw-wheelers.com/Crashfab/Chris-toy/chris-191.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
