radiator hose help

[dranttna]

so i just got my radiator back from my teacher who was welding it up for me. im about to order the hoses and it seems like the normal e36 m3 hoses will fit but the outlet on the radiator sits about even with the Tstat housing, im worried that the upper hose might kink but am unsure. the lower intake hose should be fine judgeing on its distance from the thermostat housing.

does anyone have any input or pix of a 24v with a thick radiator. thanks

here are a few pix of it installed

Trim the hose a bit to make it fit. Thats what I would do at least.
