Following another thread by https://thefactoryfiveforum.com/member.php?25678-mkassab, I decided to take the metal hoses off of my build and go with Silicone hoses and Metal pieces in both sizes, 90 degree and 45 degree angles. It took two full kits to accomplish the swap. I added the inline filler port and a radiator cap with thermometer in it.

Was this the kit you used to replace the corrugated stuff?

I was thinking of doing the same and I'm just about at the point of installing the corrugated stuff.

Don,

I bought what I needed direct from Amazon... i.e., buy just what you need. I'd also suggest T-Clamps vs hose clamps.

Yes. I purchased two kits so I would have enough for top and bottom. It is so much better than the corrugated. I followed Marks post when he did it.
