Did the Cool-Flex hose trick this morinng, not too bad to do, just drained enough fluid to clear the upper hose. I followed Mike Mercury's advice on cleaning everything before assembly, so far, no leaks..

From what little I can see of it in the pic, that looks like a cracking engine bay! I've always thought dark blue metallic with chrome accents looks amazing. Nice job

Cheers,
Ian.

Yep, followed your instructions, bought Lowe's out of sink plugs, over a 2 week period and did the retainers, great idea. I got the hose from Jegs, FXI 2050, for the C5. They were $40 cheaper than the Cool-Flex web site......go figure.
