Remote Radiator

[Boonie Buster]

anyone know of some good pics on setups of remote location radiators? i'm trying to get some ideas for the line routing between the engine and the radiator, i've got a pretty good idea of what i want to do but would like to see other's designs.:corn:

Run 1.5" or 1 5/8" exhaust tubing to carry the coolant

Heres a question..can ya run water mixed with water wetter and not have rust build up...or do ya gotta put some glycol in there?

 

[Not Jobless]

Add anti-freeze.

Maulers old **** box never had cooling issues and there was no water wetter in it.

so my next question is....

where do you get that flex-hose ad what size/brand/etc.? i have the 1.5 inch exhaust tube already, but am not sure how to go from that to the radiator and to the motor, i was thinking of flex hose but wasnt finding the stuff that you guys are running (which i like alot better than the stuff i found)

Most parts store carry or can get flex hose.

I got my flexhose at my local Napa store and I think it was their Napa brand of hose. It comes in a couple different sizes, I used 1.5. I would think most auto parts store will probably have it.
