Custom rad hoses for upright mod?
Everytime i try a search for the upright rad mounting i see people talking about the brackets but not the hoses.. do the stock hoses just have enough play to mount the radiator upright or do you cut the top one or switch the top and bottom?

A lot of people just make it work. By either just cutting and splicing with tubing or I have seen some of the more craftier people use the flex bellow tube to connect the existing pluming with the new upright oriented parts. Though the flex bellow tubes are not very attractive.

All depends on what set-up you are using. For instance with the Greddy FMIC, you use the supplied aluminum bent pipe that comes with the kit. You follow the instructions and cut the upper and lower rad. hoses in the correct locations. and they fit.
It varies for other models of IC's and rad.set-ups though
