Coolant Parts
- Five extra 1-1/4 hose clamps
- One foot of metal edge protection for the coolant hose routing. This U-shaped plastic strip fits over the sharp edges of sheet metal and prevents abrasion to your hoses. You can get it from an electrical supply store or cut some fuel line lengthwise
- Supply and return hose T fitting � I did not use the fittings provided by greasecar.com. A 3/4� barb fit in the existing coolant line better than a 5/8� fitting. I bought the brass fittings at a hardware store.

- Two 90 degree 5/8� plastic elbows. I used two elbows, one in the trunk and one in the floor under the seat. I used brass in the trunk and plastic under the seat. You could use brass or plastic for each as long as the plastic is made for coolant. Best to get them from an automotive store where they are made for coolant. Plastic fittings intended for water will not tolerate the coolant temperatures and might soften or become brittle over time.

- Brass �� barb fitting 1/4� npt male
- TFE (Teflon paste) for high temp applications � Pluming supply store� This is used for all the fittings for the fuel and coolant. I also read some where to use Permatex #80631. I used something from home depot that had PTFE in it and met the temp requirements. I haven�t had any problems.
Optional - One or more 90 degree barb fittings 5/16� hose barb 1/4� npt. The valves come with all straight fittings. How many you need will depend on how you want to route your fuel lines to prevent kinking, bending and rubbing. I only changed one to a 90 degree fitting, you may want to change more.
Optional - 12�x12� Rubberized fiber gasket for the fuel tank gasket. It�s at any auto store. Its not perfect and it leaks a little but I didn�t want to do something permanent. You may want to find something more compressible or you can use the gasket material they give you in the kit.
