SO FRUSTRATED.. about a month ago I took my heater hose, upper and lower radiator hoses off and wrapped them in braided steel.. well a few weeks ago I noticed that I had a leak and almost all my radiator fluid leaked out (thank god I noticed before it completely drained)..

so I take off all the braid and redo it.. put the hoses back on and put fluid back in.. today I just noticed that almost all my fluids gone again.. this is fkn frustrating because I have to prop my car up and drain my radiator just to adjust or fix it..

well tonight I bought new colored radiator hoses.. I'm done with the damn braided stuff..

 

so...... are they still leaking?

 

did you buy silicone radiator hoses?

 

I purchased these

So you wrapped the silicone in braided steel?

 

well it was a kit I had purchased that was designed for just that.. the stainless steel braid was flat and you had to push it to make it circular and then it wrapped around the hoses, they also had colored fittings on the end and inside was a hose clamp..

it was crappy.. caused so many headaches and punctured fingers putting the stuff on, so I just said to hell with it and removed it and went back to stock...now I'm just waiting on that Samco set I just got and then I'll put those on..

 

We almost always have the Samco in stock.

 

do you guys have the 2 small heater hoses in the back? all I can ever find are the upper and lower radiator hose.. in that picture I linked..it shows the smaller 2.. but according to their website they arent included..

 

PM me, I will see what I can do.
