[Mgb-v8] Radiator hose suggestions

[Lee Teicheira]

Hey Jim
While the radiator is empty, why not pull it and take it to a radiator shop
and have the inlet moved to the other side. Then plow through your
local auto parts shop for a hose (or piece of) that will fit. On
second thought, might want to find the hose first. Will probably also make
things a bit neater under the bonnet.
