^ When you have an SB2.2 engine I'm guessing those little fittings pale in comparison to the rest of the combo.

and on a side note...look closely at the alternator belt...the lower hose go's through the middle of it, and im not taking a chance of that belt nicking that lower hose on a pass down the track...could be badd news....look at a few of the older pics in the thread...had a regular water neck on and radiator had regular hose ends still...planed on rubber hoses till i got eveything together....so if im gonna do the bottom hose might as well do the top....building one of these...is a 1-off deal buy parts as ya go...

Damn curb side service! What did that run you? I was gonna buy a set of 12AN bungs and swivel 90° hose ends for my evac setup but was pissed about the cheaper red horse brand being 25 bucks per fitting and 20 each for weld in bungs and almost 10 bucks a foot for the hose. I could afford it but just couldnt talk myself into it. Lol. Yours looks amazing though.
