I have seen a few different ways to run hoses on a car that is using a front mount radiator.
I really have no desire to run copper piping through the cab of the car so that is out of the question. I have also seen alot of people running the rubber hoses under the car and down the center. I am sure that it is a great way, but it scares me a bit, especicaly when speed bumps come around. Is it possible to run the hoses through the center channel of the car? |

dakotaewing, I bought the fan and shrowd setup from Summit Racing (http://www.summitracing.com). They are made by Flex-a-lite and are their model #FLX-310. Cost was $219.88 plus shipping. The fan came with everything needed for installation to a radiator including an adjustable thermostat. You can buy the same set of fans/shrowd minus the adjustable thermostat for $189.88 (model # FLX-320), also from Summit. I liked the idea of an adjustable thermostat so spent the extra for it. The whole kit seems quite well built and was easy to install. I hope that helps. Don |
