the hose is offset to the side for the PV ,which hose do you run ,and where to get it,checked the duncan site they show nothing ,Id rather not go buy universal hose if they make 1 that works anybody with any pics or links of what works--I have an 87 so it says theres a different hose

Its not like a coolhead ,the PV is in the way and the coolhead hose is in front --this 1 is to the side
heres a link of what it looks like

i used the stock hose but just cut it and rotated it...

i would just go get some hose from autozone or checker if i was you...

either way, just make sure there arent any kinks in it...

lol... bootleg huh? now how exactly is a radiator line from CHecker bootleg? it is the exact same material, and will actually probably fit better, and is quite a bit less expensive...

it wont look bad by any means whatsoever...

whatever floats your boat man...

if you like paying top dollar for parts, i've got plenty i'll sell ya :D

nothing against bootleg,I just beleive doing it right the 1st time ,and if i run an universal hose it would have to be atleast 8 or so inches longer to make that retarted Z bend
,and I dont need any help spending money hahahahaha,

thanks for the pic can ya show me where it comes from the radiator, I will probably add a inline cooler and take that stress off the twist

I never cut and rotated mine. It wanted to kink right at the head, but an extra hose clamp at that spot forces it to keep it's shape.

I'll probably revisit it and fix it correctly when I upgrade my radiator. But for now, it works like a charm.

oh oh oh... ok... now i understand...

for some reason i wasnt thinking about how the 86-87 radiators make a 90 degree turn, and the 88-89 radiators come straight out...

my bad...

that is a good question how to do it...

i actually ended up with a 87 radiator on mine, and i cut some of it off before it made that turn, to make it similar to the 89 radiator... but i imagine you dont want to do that...

It was just something I never thought about until now ,
,figures though,
I new there was gonna be some hangups I just wanna ride the damn thing,

I thought about cutting the neck down on the radiator and using a compression fitting but with my luck I will oblong the hole and screw it all up,LOL and I dont want that

whats crazy is it seems like its 1 of the hardest spots to get a good pic of when people take pics of there R's its always the pipe side ----like we havent seen an FMF on an R b4
