Stainless steel on hoses serves two purposes, to protect the rubber hose
inside them and to prevent expansion. As far as far as radiators go a bit of
expansion is a good OK. The hot rodders use a lot of SS hose wrap, that is,
it's a sleeve that the normal rubber hose slides into and give the appearance
of SS hoses. This may be what some people are actually seeing and assuming to
be custom made.
Justin, out in sunny-floody Calif. should be able to fine the sleeve stuff
at any big parts house.
