lol, you know what they say, "pimpin' ain't eazzzzy"
so i cheated and bought the one from LR and works great, no more antifreeze coming out of 4 different spots with 4 different buckets....

Because it is big pimpin..
Because it came from somewhere else..
Because it doesn't have any hose clamps..
Because it has Stainless AN hose..
Because it uses AN fittings..
Because replacement pieces can be purchase ANYWHERE..
I give a nod to LR for their solution.. but this is just soooo pimp... I LOVE AN fitting, AN hoses, Stainless hose... and coming up with my own bits and pieces...

361-9919DFDERL 10MM X 1.50 TO #6 AN STRT 11.99
361-230502 SHUT OFF VALVE 3/8FPT-6AN 36.99
799-658500 Universal Hose Assembly 24.99
361-592406 FTG BULKHEAD NUT -6 2PK 2.99
361-981666 FTG -6 STRGHT TO 3/8"NPT 3.99
361-592906 FTG AN CAPS -6 (2PK) 3.99
Total for 2 with handling charge was $175.89, not the cheapest solution, but I just fitted it onto my N/A, and have already threaded it into the 951 Radiator.
For now I zip tied it to the AC lines, but will be working on a bracket to permanently mount it out of the way, but easy to access for draining.. omit the valve, and use off the shelf hose and reusable AN fittings and the cost will come down significantly, I wanted full pimp, so I included them!
Just use the adapter to the Radiator and a cap and you are done for about $15..

I love doing things different and yours looks great...a very fine job indeed!
I appreciate the info (part #'s & source) but I'll probably just order the one from LR.

reach under the bumper cover, remove the cap, open the valve and it will drain... on a turbo you may have to remove the batwing, OR it can be plumbed through the batwing ...
It took about 3 minutes to install on the N/A BTW... eventually I will make a bracket to hold the valve hence the -6 sized nut on the valve in the pictures..
