Radiator and Heater hoses

[kamikazeredneck]

I'm looking to replace my heater and radiator hoses and I would like to know what is best. I would like to make it look clean with some nylon hoses but I don't know what I need to use to attach the nylon AN fittings to the radiator, thermostat housing or any of the other places I would need to attach it to. Or would a better option be just to use a different kit. I'm looking for some advice so I can do this right the first time.

Do you mean braided lines?
the only way to do this with real An fittings at both ends is to weld an aluminum male AN to your housng as well as your rad. This can get quite expensive.

Samco make defferent color rad hoses for DSM's.

Well I'm looking to make everything I can black because I don't care for chrome so much. Thanks for the help, I was thinking I was going to have to weld them on but I wasn't sure. I just was curious if they made a kit or if it would be more worth it to just to buy something like the Samco hoses you said

I'm pretty sure that you can get black braided line and fittings from Earls or Russell.

That is actually a nice kit. I was not aware that they made one for all under hood rad hoses.
thanks for the link.

Awesome link man thanks a lot. I might look into getting these now until I can do the welding on the radiator and thermostat housing.

Very welcome to both of you, I actually just ordered em as well. I am waiting on them to be delivered!

I'm sure you guys know but just to be on the safe side, don't replace your brake booster hose with the silicone one from the kit. It doesn't have the valve to stop boost from entering the brake booster.

Thanks for the heads up!
