AMR radiator question
.
This question is directed to all those here who have installed an AMR radiator in their SVX. I ordered the AMR radiator, silicone hoses from motorsportwarehouse and some Breeze constant tension hose clamps (which have a 3/4” band) The top hose is no problem. The bottom outlet seems to be a little short, measuring from the inner edge of the extruded “rib” (at the end of the outlet) to the welds where it attaches to the radiator itself. When I push the lower lose completely onto the lower outlet as far as I can, my hose clamps are too wide to stay within that space. If I push the clamp back as far as I can, the outer edge sits on top of that “rib” not behind it. Has anyone else experienced this? What kind of clamps are you using (with silicone hoses) and what is your clamp width? I find they the 5/8” and 3/4” are too wide. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Re: AMR radiator question
I don't recall having this issue when I installed mine. The next time I get under the SVX I will check it out.
