[QUOTE="Black Gold 380R, post: 16675869, member: 70025"] Okay, after the clutch was bled, and working properly, it was time to install the radiator and upper and lower radiator tubes. I started with the lower tube on the water pump side. I had to remove the ALT so I had room to work and so I could get the heat gun in there to shrink the clamp. [ATTACH type="full"]1722348[/ATTACH] Then I moved over to the radiator side. I had to lift the radiator a little to get the tube to slide in the hose. Tubes don't like to bend LMAO. [ATTACH type="full"]1722349[/ATTACH] After everything was set I pulled the heat gun out and shrunk the clamps. Those things work great. I was pushing and yanking with all my might to make sure that tube would not pop off. She ain't going anywhere LOL. [ATTACH type="full"]1722350[/ATTACH] Then I installed the upper tube. I started on the intake side. I had to cut a little longer hose than my fabricator had on there to ensure there was enough for the clamp to grab on too. [ATTACH type="full"]1722352[/ATTACH] The radiator side was a little more difficult since everything was already in place. I had to slide the hose on to the intake side of the tube. Then line it up with the radiator tube and then slide the hose half way across to the radiator side. Needless to say the hose and tube needed a little grease to make that work. Once the hose was in place it was time to slide the shrink clamps on and get the heat gun out. [ATTACH type="full"]1722351[/ATTACH] It came out great. I will get some acetone and remove the white lettering on the clamps to give it an even cleaner look. [ATTACH type="full"]1722353[/ATTACH] Love the way this looks. And once the radiator cover is installed it will look even cleaner. [ATTACH type="full"]1722354[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]1722355[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
