New 26" rad - what hoses to use?

I think you should go to a local parts house and find the little sucker that fits best.
That's what I did when I put my 26 in, and it was well worth the time.

I can't stand flex hoses because of the turbulence they cause in the coolant flow (slows the flow)
Plus they look like sh*t. :-)

Sorry Dartsun, but...
