        You can use the main hose from a 10 valve Coupe and just blank the rad with a short bit of hose and a big bolt. If you want to do a really tidy job use the rad and hose from a 10V, that's what I've done. Blanking the pipes works just fine though.

                    I also used copper blanking caps.
                    I fitted them inside out, to mess with people. I got quite a few comments on my coolant hoses with open ends.
