The outlet from the motor is larger than the one on the radiator - anyone have a clean way to go from one size hose to another smaller hose. I know I can get the rad modified but trying to be cheap. Let's see what you've done?

Wedge the smaller hose onto the bigger inlet.

That would by far be the cheapest and it doesn't have to get that much larger - I had thought of that.

Wet the nipple on the water pump with anti-freeze, push hose on, tighten clamp. Drink beer. Finished.

I'm going to use the new rad hose as a straw for my beer first, then wedge on. I need an excuse to drink more beer!

I think this is inaccurate. Should be...
Drink beer. wet nipple. drink beer. push hose onto nipple. drink beer. tighten clamp. drink beer. then drink a celebratory beer.
But thats probably why my project is still unfinished....

autozone has 3/4" -5/8" adapters for like $2 and they work great and make it much less hassle the next time you have the reconnect that hose.
