Couple of thoughts have been running thru my mind about how to do the coolant lines to the radiator. Although I think the current setup will work the idea of the trunk lid opening and closing over time will develop a weak line and it is possible that it will leak.

Has anyone ever used or worked with -16AN or -20AN Fiber braided lines? I am curious to know how flexible they are? I see several of these NASCAR braided lines being sold on Fleabay for pretty cheap and was thinking they may out last my current idea. Plus I could have the fittings welded to the radiator and not have to use hose clamps

Second thought was if these lines could be used would -16AN be able to flow enough coolant thru the radiator effectively? I imagine -20AN lines would be no problem but are probably less flexible.

Anyway, interested to hear some feedback on this idea.

Here are some pics and link
