Re: 72 C10 Chevy - LS with Entropy Radiator Lower Hose Solution

Great write up. Are those silicone hoses? If not I've great luck either making a one piece hose from a larger hose walking around the parts store stock room. Oreilly's typically has a good stock in the back room.
Or at NAPA they still have a hard copy parts book for hoses the give you basic dimensions for hoses. If you don't mod the hose you can send it back and get a new one.

Summit racing has a shrink clamp it’s a band that you shrink with a heat gun. I had to cut mine and use a tube so I turned my clamps so the adjustment was to the back side and painted them black, but I’m going to order the shrink bands for the splice. the only complaint I saw was a guy used to large of band and it didn’t get tight enough

Call summit and make sure how it’s sized if it goes hose size or outside diameter it’s not clear at least not to me
