A. The object of this section is to route the radi-
ator hose as close to the radiator as possible
to provide room for the supercharger compo-
nents.
B. Trim the supplied hose so that it turns down
as quickly as possible when connected to the
radiator with factory clamp. Install the new
hose onto the radiator. (See Fig 10-a.)
C. Cut the original radiator hose and the newly
installed radiator hose so that they will con-
nect with the supplied 1-3/8" hose mender.
Make sure hose is routed next to the radiator
shroud behind the ABS. Clamp the hoses
onto the supplied hose mender using the
supplied #20 clamps. Use a piece of scrap
hose to insulate the radiator hose from sharp
objects etc. (See Fig. 10-b.)
D. Tighten/install hose clamps on each hose
connection and refill the coolant system.
