For the radiator it is the a brand new factory radiator. For the hook up i took the thermostat housing off the motor and cut the neck of it, rotated roughly 180° then welded back on. This puts it facing away from the motor and much eaisier to make the connection with no obstruction. Unfortunately i do not have a pic of the process. I orderd a 1 1/4" 180° silicone Ubend. I cut it to fit and clamped everything together. I really do not like using hose clamps on anything pressure or visible.
