Alright, so I needed a new radiator and I got a cheap aluminum one off ebay. I've got a VX and I'm not really into performance, but I figured for the price, the aluminum one would be nice. And I can weld aluminum in case i ever breaks, vs the plastic on the oem style ones.
Anyway, I got it partly installed and noticed that the radiator hoses were too small for the radiator. They are about as close as you can get, without being abel to fit. After reading online I think that the hoses might be sized for a B series engine. Any suggestions on how to remedy this?
Buy B series hoses and then use a sleeve on the engine side to connect to the smaller fitting? That's the best idea yet. Let me know if you have any others...
