As long as it fits, it works, right?

Sorry for the short post, but I am in the process of putting on new radiator hoses and I found one that fits the lower part of my radiator and with a minor two inch trim will fit the water neck/thermostat housing.

My question is: Is there any thing I should be careful of when modifying a radiator hose to fit? Does it matter as long as there is some delay in the flow of coolant and the two ends connect properly?

I plan on ordering the correct hoses if need be but I need the car running asap for inspection.

Thanks!Token

As long as there are no kinks, you should be fine.

yeah as long as it fits nicely and its not kinked you will be fine..you can actually use your stock lower radi hose off the ka with a little trimming
