So this weekend the core support was mocked up and some "sample" radiator hoses bent out of 3/4" EMT. Once bent to fit, these samples were taken to the local NAPA store, where they have become used to me sizing up radiator hoses in the store room. The lower hose was from an S10 pickup or Blazer, but with the battery bracket in place, there was interference to the hose.

So our battery bracket is modified to provide clearance for the hose, and a "hem" added to the inside.

The upper hose has no such obstacles, so we should have smooth sailing there.
