Here is mine. Aluminum Conduit I cut. The only problem is it's heavy and it keeps cracking the solder joint on the upper radiator neck. I have it tore a part and plan to have it rebrassed and see what I can come up with to releive the stress on it. I haven't had any problem with it sliding out of the rubber hose ends. I scuffed them up real good before inserting them.
