Default cross flow radiator hoses

Is anyone running an LS cross flow radiator with their LS? I have a griffin ls cross flow radiator with my ls1 and I need to find radiator hoses for it. Or what is the best way to measure for a hose?

Here is what I do:

1. Measure the diameter of the connections and make note of them.
2. Then take a piece of brake tubing, and bend it in a shape that the hose needs to be.
3. Then take those pieces of bent tubing to your FLAPS, and dig through their hose rack, until you find something that will work. Remember, that you may have to cut a longer hose down to get the exact match, but I have yet to be stumped in a search for a particular shape hose. There are hundreds of hose shapes out there, and with a little trimming, you will find something that is perfect.

Ditto, take a look at the thread re LS radiator right above this.
