I'm using a 320i lower rad hose ('82 320 aluminum rad), but its too snug for my liking. I cut a bunch off, and will cut more off, but its still a *little* kinked, and still rubbing on the frame rail. which is really not too good :).

so in the event that cutting another 3/4inch or so doesn't fix it, what are my options? can i buy something like 'flexible' rad hose and use that? if so, from where?

thx

Most auto parts stores have flex radiator hoses. Just make sure you get one with the proper dia. and length (duh).
