Full Braided Hose Kit Pics
Here are some pics from the final Full Braided Line Kit. As some of you know, we ran into trouble with the hose that goes
from the Over Flow tank to the block. We ended up having to have that one custom molded like the radiator hoses.

Here you can see the Air Hose that extends all the way down the driver side of the engine compartment
and all the way down to the side of the radiator to an air pump. Also a portion of the Upper Radiator Hose.

is not very visible from the passenger side, but it is highly visible from the drivers side

Those look great Chip
Might have to be getting me some of them.
What if someone like me doesnt need to have the top radiator hose in this kit?

Chip....You have really outdone yourself in this kit. I would think that anyone that shows or desires to show their vette would want a full set of these hoses. They really show off the engine bay.

Looks good. How many set of these are you going to start with and when you do, will you be contacting those of us with the upper and lower radiator hoses via email PRIOR to offering posting and making available to everyone else? Holding off on installation due to the clamp issues, but also to have the entire package to install all at once. Hopefully you will take care of us that have the other hoses initially and have plenty of inventory available.

Looks great and is actually functional. What materials are the braided lines made from? I think I read somewhere that aluminum works best for heat transfer, but you guys would know better than I would .

The hoses look great and how many are there, minus the two radiator hoses? I can't remember, but can you really see the lower radiator hose? And how long does it take to install all the Other hoses? Thanks Doug

There is 9 total in the full kit, 7 minus the Upper and Lower rad hoses.
...and yes, the lower Rad hose is very visible.
I did it all in about 2 hrs...somewhere between 2 and 4 depending on your skill level. tools ect...

OK, the original post said we would have a price yesterday. Do we have one yet?
