I am having some difficulty in finding component dimensions to determine
whether they will fit in my cowl space. I have been considering two
possible
plumbing methods and would appreciate comments.
One:
Along the lines of Ed Anderson's. As I understand it, he welded an AN-16
bung
to the radiator (evaporator cores) and then used AN-16 hose to connect. I
believe that his hookup is in series, so the flow is the same through both
radiators. Ed -- how much space is needed from the welding surface of the
evap core for the curved end of the hose-- before it hits a cowling? Also,
are the fittings really on the order of $175/end?
Two:
Tracy used smaller heater hoses in a parallel hookup. Water flow through
the
radiators may or may-not be identical, harder to insure, since hose length
will be different. Tracy, Does the aluminum tubing out of the radiator
bend
before being attached to your hoses, and what size is it. I am having
trouble
finding short radius bends to fit that could be welded into place.
Looking for all input

I used 5/8" aluminum tube and bent it using spring type bending tools to
make the 90 degree bends in my inlets to evaporator cores. I used the
stock 3/4" 90 degree elbows that came on the cores for the outlets.
