That is actually what I bought, cut to fit and put it on. After filling the rad, I immediatly began taking the hoses off as they were leaking. I couldn't tell when it was tight as there was never any resistance, so I overtightened them and split them.

After that I purchased a product similar to the summit brand except it is from Cool Flex. It is made in the USA and is heavier and stronger. A little more expensive than the Summit product, but WELL worth it.

Check out the pictures of the CoolFlex product vs the summit product, and the completed project. CoolFlex is on the right.
Give CoolFlex a call!
