91coMANche Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 I want to replace my upper radiator hose with a mandrel bent aluminum pipe. Can anyone replicate the stock rubber hose in aluminum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geonovast Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 You need play in the radiator hoses to compensate for engine vibrations.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
91coMANche Posted February 18, 2011 Author Share Posted February 18, 2011 Absolutely. There will be silicone rubber ends on it. I just don't like the way the rubber hose lays across everything. It could be rerouted better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brdhntr Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 it's not really a problem. go to a high end exhaust shop and they should be able to do it. aluminum exhaust stuff is quite common now. other wise, a decent machine shop can do it. shouldn't be a real beig deal. i've had stuff like that done here.
