lol, im doing this at the moment...

where to get it from...well that depends on your budget and how good the silicone is....for the rats nest for example, im buying the best stuff with the largest wall thickness i can so it can withstand the heat.

Rad hoses your best bet would be to get the samco stuff which comes already shaped. Youde be best off draining the rad to do this.

For any other hoses, id say try pirtek or somewhere similar.

If you want to change to siliocone top and bottom Radiator hoses and you have a standard car you will be best off taking your undertray down to get to the lower Radiator clip and this will also let you get your hand on the bottom hose to get it off and puttit back on.

Should take around an hour including putting your antifreeze/water back in.

The rats nest would take a little longer and personaly I wouldn\'t use silicone for this ( use the search button for more info
