Cutting up some cheap radiator hose to make make sure I order the correct size hoses.



Next up...drill holes in the Core Support.



Eventually I will drill the holes larger and install "Well Nuts"



Works perfect





Testing a 3" Hose that I borrowed from a friend



Perfect Gap.

Marty, I'm not sure you'd have enough room for the radiator to 'move' as it heats and cools down with the side to side mounts. You may need some wiggle room there so the radiator doesn't crack somewhere. Maybe take a look on a modern cars cooling system. There should be 'pins' on the radiator that go into usually large grommets. Just a thought.
