Cheers mate.

 

I should've asked this before, and I'm sure you probably would've mentioned it if there had been any issues, but I'm curious how the 1.25" radiator hoses that got stretched over the 1.5" ports are doing? Still feeling pretty firm after a few years of use, or getting soft and worrisome?

 

I haven't really had any issues with them. If you wanted to avoid it, you could use couplers with a different hose. I prefer fewer connections though.
