Subject:steel coolant lines on a '84 westy
From:nirav patel <agencia72@GMAIL.COM>

Hey all,

Was wondering if anyone on this list has replaced the original steel
coolant lines with the 1.5'' four part system?  I finally got mine in place
in addition to a new radiator and had a few questions in terms of the
install.  The pipes are strong and sturdy under the van, but I plan to use
some worm drive clamps to get a tighter fit.

The question I have is with the pipe entry points into the engine bay. They
are not exact.  It seems like I will make it work in terms of attaching to
the coolant hoses, but just wanted to know if anyone else had the same
placement of pipes.  Essentially I want to make sure I did not do anything
glaringly wrong.

I think I might be firing up this van soon.  Wish me luck. I'll be the last
in the group-18 bostig.  Quite an achievement.
