Im being serious when i say this but i wrapped black electric tape around my vette radiator housing to make up the difference in size. I then double clamped it and i have had ZERO problems. Ghetto/rigged...yes, does it work...yes! http://www.s10v8.com/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif I couldnt find reducers at the time.

I used a piece of the small hose that goes on rad and then cut flush then put on the larger size on it and clamped it no probs in over 2 yrs...
