braided radiator hoses.
Maybe this is dumb, but i've been seeing cases where people are blowing radiator hoses, or having hose clamp failures and tearing up some cars. I was wondering if any of the top dogs not dry decking have gone to an fitting radiator hoses, and if so, how are you doing it on the engine side. cutting off the standard radiator bungs and welding in the threaded fittings is easy enough, but the timing cover part i don't have an answer for. I see these aluminum swivel t-stat housings that i think you could possibly cut and modify similar to the radiator fittings. Just thinking out loud.

I have a 12an thermostat housing and welded a 12an nipple to the water pump cover. Works great. Peace of mind as well.

Awesome guys, thanks, that’s what I was looking for. I think the insurance will far outweigh the inconvenience.
