2x -12 45 Degree hose end
2x -12 90 Degree hose end
4X -12 male to M22x1.5 male
1.5M -12 SS braided hose

And the others are for my steam vent.. yes i wanted to go braided because it looks cool..

Pauly. You may want to use a L (90º angle) on the steam vent to clear the firewall.

Anyway looks great.

It clears with a fair bit of room, I checked before buying. a 90 degree would have been better IMO but the straight allows me to go further back with the hose so it's not in the way with anything.

The "steam vent" hose is an after market things that Linsey Racing came up with except theirs is plastic, i just wanted braided for the looks honestly.

What it is, there is a pocket in the head where water gathers up and cannot escape and turns into steam and stays there.. It can cause head gasket failures but it's not a fix to solve head gaskets from blowing. It just help water to flow out of there to stay cooler. it just goes to the expansion tank.
