Now, before you get ahead of yourself, make sure to add a bead around each end of the "joining tube", why, simple, it keeps the tube and the hose from slipping and blowing off at the most inopportune moment........

Bill, this ain't my first rodeo. I had hoses blow off 20 years ago.

Don't you remember all the folks who used to complain about the lower hose blowing off after a few test rides, just using the tube that FFR sent (without adding the beading).........Better for me to post the suggestion, than not as there are others reading your posts who might not be as experienced as you are.......
Have a great Sunday.

I guess that I haven't been around the block enough... What do you mean by "add the beading"? Do you mean take a bead roller to the sleeve? Or, add some type of sealant?

Take a bead roller to the sleeve included with the kit, about 1/2-3/4 of an inch in from both sides..

I'm a couple months away from dropping my coyote into the car, but these posts are really helpful and I'm printing out the keepers.
Was this fabrication simply to save money and use a piece of hose that you already had? I don't have extra hosing lying around and I'm wondering if there's a flexible hose I can buy and simply bend into shape. Is there anything out there that would work and eliminate the splice joint?

During my first build, I would have dropped $400 having the radiator and pump inlet modified for braided hose fittings and buying the hose and fittings. I'm a little more practical now so I'm saving the money for stuff that actually shows. I had the hose, I had some time, so I decided to see what it would take to make it work. The standard FFR flex hoses just don't fit the available space. The splice is out of sight and if prepped properly, will not leak.
