A904 Cooler lines with 5.9 Magnum- like a demented puzzle?

On some models you can lift the radiator a few inches and shoot the lines in from the front of the car.
When I make my own lines I make them in 4 pieces with compression unions to make them up under the car. I skin majority of the metal lines with neoprene fuel hose and stagger the union locations a few inches. This makes getting wrenches on them much easier.

Good tip. I'll take a look and see if pulling the radiator and working from that angle might help!

Otherwise, the idea of having them in multiple sections sounds like a great idea assuming the additional failure points don't become an issue.

Thanks!

So any thoughts on the braded steel lines? This seems like the easiest solution unless there is something I'm not considering...I have to guess there is a reason that people don't do this. The problem of securing them to the car comes to mind.
