Default lower radiator hose connection
I was wondering if anyone has a slick way to connect a lower radiator hose.

I was thinking of trying to use some AN fittings and hoses to dress the whole thing up, but am running against some part availability dilemmas. I was considering welding on an AN male weld bung to the lower connection, then running hose from there. The trouble is that the connection is 1-3/4 ID (-24 AN) and I can get a weld bung, but no aluminum hose connections! I'd hate to reduce the thing down to 1" which is where I found most of the fittings commonly available. I also have a couple of tight bends to go around the frame and steering rack, then back up into the pump.

Any ideas, pics, part #'s?
