I need your help... I have looked all over the gates web site and also the local auto parts store. I cant find a solution for this issue, I dont really want to cut the tube on the radiator either...I know that someone here has got to have an answer for me? This is the last part of the puzzle I need to solve before I start her up... There has to be a way...I need a hose that will make this bend...

Man, that's a tight turn. It's kind of hard to tell from the pic how much room you have to make that 90 degree turn. Would a short coupler like this work for you?

No, I think that would be too sharp of a turn and create pressure problems. You might just have to have a custom hose made. Lots of places will do that, like here: https://www.siliconehose.com/custom-hoses/

THANKS!!! The custom hose option will work great except I just called those guys and they want a minimum of 50 hoses... That wont work...
any other shops that will make me a hose?
