All this may not seem like much but finding the right hoses and fittings have been a real challenge. Had to spend $40 on a silicone 1" x 5/8" hose that goes from the rad fill tank to the engine. The tank was a custom made unit from Howe Radiator. Trying to locate the tank where it would be higher than the engine so it would gravity feed into the engine and then to the radiator was especially difficult for me. The tank has two additional outlets; one the goes to a 5/16" fitting at the top of the radiator on the driver side and one that goes to the bleed line in front of the thermostat. Of course there is also a 1/4" hose that goes to an overflow tank. There is just so much room in any engine compartment.
