Larry,
The replacement hose goes down from the water pump housing and hugs the
engine to provide fan clearance. The RF motor mount bracket is a U shaped
part that bolts to the block and goes down towards the motor mount at a 45
degree angle. It extends a bit forward of the engine's front plate.
Maybe there are different motor mount brackets out there, and only one
aftermarket hose design. Who knows?
If I had a scanner I'd take a picture and post it (are you reading this,
Santa?). I can hardly tell anything from my own description!!!
