Cooling system mounted and plumbed.

Used Breeze's upper an lower mounting brackets and powder coated the fan shroud in wrinkle finish. Gates' thermoplastic couplers are a Godsend since I didn't offset my top radiator opening from the shroud enough for a conventional clamp.

cg,

I have a suggestion about the lower coolant hose. I had mine run the way you have it for some time but didn't like the sharp turn and two curves that it made at the front of the frame rail. I reran mine on the outside of the 4 inch tube and fabbed a couple of holders for the corrugated metal hose. It is working well there and looks a lot better as it pretty much hides the hose from the engine bay except where it comes back to the water pump intake port. I mentioned this since we have the same radiator and it looks like you mounted yours very similarly to the way I did it. At one time I was considering cutting a notch out of the plate on the front of the frame to accommodate the hose the way you have it and didn't want to do that. You won't have to change the length of the hose. BTW: I like those connections. Looks like they would be immune from popping apart.

Good luck,

WEK.

Thanks! It is an extreme bend...
