    Silicone radiator hoses for a yb mk1

    Im currently plumbing the radiator in my yb mk1. Iam not too clear on what I need to order. I have gathered this much from looking at pics of other installs on here...for top hose i will need a 45° silicone from engine into a swirl pot [turbo return will be connected to it] and then a 90° from swirl pot into radiator. For lower hose I will need a 90° from engine into an alloy pipe section then another 90° into the radiator. Am I correct? My mk1 is running a 4wd motor with a radtech yb kit. Also what diameter pipe do we use?
