I did use the extension method in one config - I used standard XR2 hoses
together with inline temp sensor adapters in top & bottom hoses.
I think the original rubber hoses that were fitted (which need no
extensions) may be from an Escort/Orion.

When I relocated my rad to the nosecone I simply extended the original
hoses with some suitably sized pipe and jubilee clips!
With the new engine install I have been using universal silicone sections
and stainless pipe between. Not the cheapest option ( so probably best to
wait for your new engine
I will probably switch to silicone hoses throughout when engine is changed.
For now I am looking for rubber hoses as backups.
Th old hoses look like OEM but the markings are too faded to read so trying
to find out what vehicle they are for.
