Okay, most of you probably already know I'm about done with my swap now. Got paid today, picked up my radiator hoses I had ordered, picked up my oil, Honda MTF, and coolant...and just as I thought, something had to go wrong. The upper radiator hose was of the "flex hose" variety, 1.25 inner diameter by 17.25 length. The lower hose, which was molded, was the exactly right length and had proper bends, but it was about .25 in too small. BTW, I ordered both hoses for a 94 del sol DOHC vtec. (for those of you not familiar with my swap, its an SIR2 into a 96 civic dx.) Any info on what the hell I should do about this lower radiator hose would be appreciated. I already talked to both the parts stores here in town, nobody has any 1.25 ID flex hose that is of the length I need. Any ideas, can I use any hoses from a different b-series motor?
