Here is a shot of the water pump and flexible radiator hose. The flex hose provides just enough movement for the trunk hood to open and close. There is a slight bit of strain on the hose coupling and I am looking for an alternative hose cause I feel over time this may weaken so I am keeping my eye open for a 2" S coupling that is 3~4 ply. The hose coupling I am using now is from an STI radiator hose kit that was sitting around my garage, would probably work but I am not 100% confident.
