Help! Where to route bottom Radiator hose?
Hi All. I have a problem - I can't make sense of how to route a hose to the bottom of the Polo rad. It just seems impossible! Are there any
other options for the radiator?

Move the rad behind the suspension and in front of the engine

A top hose from any Proton with a Campro engine like this.
I used these top and bottom. Just need a very slight trim on the length but otherwise perfect.
You could use a silicon 's' bend too but I had access to the Proton ones.
I'll see if I have any build pics and email them to you.
Cheers

Hi Tim,
There's pics of this in my blog / web album - we had to take a chunk out of the rad mounting bracket, but we'll stiffen it back up once
its done...

What you can't see is the angle of the long alloy joiner, it goes up towards the driver's side of teh car, then uses a 90 degree bend to
turn down over the top of the steering rack...
