    I used an M50 one that I trimmed a little shorter.

        Not exactly the best way but i used 1" heater hose and found a 1 inch barb'd stainless T-fitting at the local plumbing store..I have the line going from the front of the head to the heater core with the T in the middle.. which goes to the bottom of the coolant tank attached to the m42 rad.. cost about $15 compared to the 50 for the m50 spider hose
