Easy engine bay dress-up
I wasn't sure how long I would run these hoses for, so I didn't spend the extra to get the SS pipe. Perhaps I should've, the chrome pipes already had a layer of surface rust inside... no damage visible and hopefully the antifreeze will prevent further corrosion. The wrapped hoses and clamps provided are good quality and they look good. Every little step helps clean up my engine bay. These may be a common or overused bolt-on dress option, but I personally hate the look of rubber hoses. I will be running a compressor bracket so I need to run offset water necks, these pipes are not compatible as shipped (and I didn't expect them to be). For anyone out there that will be doing the same, take the hard pipe to your local auto parts store and find a rubber radiator hose the right diameter with 2 90 degree bends and use those as your water neck adapters. This should clear the compressor this way.

The hose clamps that came with it were too small and their suggestion was to go buy new ones which I already paid for when I bought the kit seems like customer service could care less about the customer. Feel free to send me new clamps that are one size bigger so they fit over the hose that you supplied with the kit which I had to go buy some of those too because they didn't fit right

I have a Low Boy Deuce roadster, the lower radiator will not allow the chromed 90 degree pipes to fit. I can't use the kit. Hopefully I can make a return.

I know the tubes are 1-1/4 diameter but what are the overall dimensions of the tubes, overall length and overall height? I'm looking for something that will work on my 31 ford with 53 flathead engine.
