Radiator hoses & Seatbelt anchors

We modified the coolant connections on the right side because we didn't have enough clearance between he exhaust and the radiator hose.  We also decided to change from standard rubber hoses (which have a 5 year replacement schedule) to silicone hoses that last much longer.  The silicone hoses also have a higher temperature rating which is nice.

We also made 4 cables that will be used to anchor the seatbelts.   1/8" stainless cable was slid through a 10" piece of blue polyurethane jacket (1/4" diameter).  The cable ends wrap around AN111 cable bushings, and the ends were then swaged.    Hours: 9
