The Official Extinct Inline Thermostat Mod Thread

I finally got around to installing this kit. Everything seems good except for the the hose coming off the engine to the thermostat housing. To me it looks like it has too much of a kink in it. Has anyone else had this issue? I fiddled a lot with it trying to smooth it out, but it refuses. Should I try to find a replacement hose?

Thanks for the offer Tim, but I found a solution. I went over to Advanced Auto and purchased a Dayco 1.25" ID hose (part # 70806) with a nice 90 degree bend in it. Now everything has lots of clearance and I couldn't be happier with the end results. I haven't driven it yet, but I did check the hood clearance, and nothing is touching. Thanks Tim for creating this kit. This will save countless D2's from the scrap yard
