Lower Radiator hose

[mjmacqua]

Guys, Have a quick question for anyone who can offer their opinion.

My re-build is just about complete. It is now going to be a 460/514. I had a Meziere std flow electric pump on the old setup and had some issue with heating. I decided to go with the High volume version which has raised a new issue. The outlet to the lower rad hose is touching the Crank trigger. So we have come up with a solution (spacer and 2 outlets bibs welded together to angle away from trigger wheel).

Ok so here is my question:
I am in need of new lower raditor hoses. I am considering all options, I currently have a hard pipe setup with a bend (from formed rubber hose), worked great no issues. with the new setup I am coming out the other side and will have to redo completely, has anyone ever used the formable hoses, like coolflex? Any pro's cons... I know one pro (easier).

Anyone please let me know your experiences, last thing I want to do is go to local store and trial and error this thing together with different bends....

Mike
