Ah yes! forgot to update - the JHM hoses are too long ... would have been straightforward to fit, but no way to bend the hoses properly. intensely annoying. haven't managed to get hoses shortened yet though (will be cheaper than customs charge for importing replacements from the US).

Will speak to the mechanic tomorrow and see what else I’ll need.
Did you end up using the OEM pipes for the install?

Thanks, I like JHM’s quality but if the pipes don’t fit with the Radtec cooler, it seems then that stock piping is the way others have gone...

i'm not sure why the JHM hoses don't fit because they say they will fit the OEM cooler, of which the radtec has the same dimensions...
tbh i haven't had chance to contact jhm yet.
