The easier/cheaper solution involves a piece of copper or stainless pipe, 1-1/2"
in diameter & 2 hose clamps. This will let you join 2 hoses to get the proper
bends. Watch out for the bottom hose. I believe that the Mustang radiator has a
1-3/4" bottom outlet, if so, you will need a hose that has a transition from
1-3/4 to 1-1/2", try a Chevy or Ford pickup truck.
