So I am using stock radiator and have the bendable coolant lines, the lower hose is a no brainer, except the adapters are to large for the coolant outlet. But the top hose coming from that tight squeeze at the upper rad outlet, anyone have a pic of how they did it ? Thanks

Mine is a MkIV with a mustang replacement radiator. I didn't like the "through the F-panel routing" so, I took a piece of the stainless hose, and the hose off my donor to size each end, and bought a hose off the rack that had a 90* bend in it, with the right size on each side of the 90. Took it home, cut off the piece I needed and clamped it down. I think I have the part number of the hose I used, somewhere. I want to say it was a replacement hose for a Taurus or Probe, but I don't remember what year. I'll look for the left over piece of hose when I get home.

The hose I used is AutoZone M-472. The application is lower hose for a '91-'02 Escort with a 1.9L or 2.0L L4.
