Subject:EMT (electrical conduit) for transitions in Vanagon cooling system? (engine conversion)
From:neil N

Hi all.

This is for my Jetta 2.0 into Vanagon conversion.

I'm considering 1- 1/4" EMT 90* pieces as transitions from Jetta
upper/lower rad hose, to marine hose, which would connect to long
Vanagon pipes.

I'll be bracing these EMT/marine hose pieces.

Anyone had good results (i.e. no leaks!) using EMT?

If so, did they run a bead of JB or ? to make a "lip" like a standard
cooling system pipe or just double clamp?

If this stuff fits in the engine bay (large radius in bend I"m sure)
it sure would be nice!

Thanks much,

Neil.
