Hello all,
I'm getting to the point where I need to start thinking about which route to go with plumbing for water to and from the radiator. I've seen rubber and steel. Black pipe (heavy) and copper. Most going below the floor pan. Are there any other options? Much thanks. |

Heres a pic from a few years ago when I was fitting my system. Copper and rubber, its worked so far, 15000 miles later. If you have some bends and clamp the tubing to the car at strategic spots, the tubing will not rotate or move on you.
