Hi Austin it's nice to see your attention to detail on the work you do good job all around......just thought I would mention to make sure there is a spring inside your lower radiator hose it has the potential to collapse when you're cruising around and cause an overheating issue....been there done that.....keep up the good work!!

[@hydroman99]

I am learning. Please keep pumping out the content, Austin.

[@tommyrazor11]

Loom looks legit. As long as it doesn’t leak I wouldn’t worry about it

[@smplyizzy]

After you get the lift installed a lathe would be very nice to have to make exactly what you want.

[@MonkeyWithAWrench]

I have no clue how people do this stuff without a mill and a lathe. on my swap, it took both. There is no way it could have been done without either.

In reference to the sanitary fittings(tri-clamp ferrule), they are tube dimensions, so the OD is 1" and the ID is typically 0.87" of you have .065" wall fittings. But, It sounds like since use are using stock volkswagon hoses that the dimensions are in metric units, so that very well may be your problem with not being able to find the right fit

[@thelandcruiserproject]

The wire clamp tool is pretty sweet. Nice job.

[@austinniemela]

Thanks 👍

Man... I can't wait to hear her start

[@jimmadonna1436]

Like the Loom, it looks good.

[@JohnAvantiBK]

Looks like it's all going to hold up.

If you ever decide to sell that truck, do let me know!!! Excellent work, Austin!

Keep it up Big fan from Afghanistan I lost all of my motivation to work on my car after Taliban took over the country 🙁🙁

[@mrm4155]

Good job!

You’re like the one man 🇺🇸 American version of Wheeler Dealer!

They sell cheap pipe benders at home depot. I would try to bend that aluminum pipe with one of those and then trim to fit. It might not work but I think it would be better than trying to bend it in a vise with heat.

[@jasonvenegas8264]

Awesome build, I just want to see the fisrt start

Hello greetings from Colombia

[@garycallahan7867]

Amazon has 1x1 and 11/4 x 11/4 ICT billet hose barbs. You could cut and weld 2 of them.

Hello from Guatemala

[@juanhectorcruzurias9403]

Saludos desde cananea sonora mexico, Austin muy buenos videos

[@stevewhyte8476]

No comprendo !!

[@scottkailey1]

fill that aluminum tube with sand then bend it

[@thescottishhammer7570]

Exactly. Also, anneal it before you bend it.

[@tedwoodside975]

I'm surprised no one up North has done a billet replacement for that coolant connection so you don't have to re-use the old hose.

[@jkjlc3qf6sh3t]

👏👏👏👏

[@Desperado1995]

Have you tried Spokane House of hose for your fittings?

[@user-yp1kq9ic3m]

Hello. Great job. Question! Since you are not keeping the original VW coolant reservoir tank. What you do with the 2 hoses attached to it? I see that you just blocked the lower hose port. But what about the upper return hose on top of the reservoir? Thank you.

[@tommcl8548]

👍

[@adamdubeau8038]

How did you end up hooking up the coolant temp sensor for the gauges to work?

[@luisruano6827]

Fan 100% tacomas!

Second... third !!

[@masoodbaloch8445]
