Center Radiator Retrofit - Base to S Hoses, Thoughts on Best Solution?

Mikesz, see the edit I made to the first post.

I called them back, and I guess I wasn't very clear when I spoke to them the first time. They will still do the modification, but they do not do the exchange. The price is also higher, $100 plus shipping both ways. I am sending my pipes in later this week, once I get some time to remove them from the car. I will let you know how it goes.

Did someone suggest replacing the whole system with S water lines/brackets, and I missed it? That's what some spec guys are doing. That's what I had planned to do to a base boxster I was going to fix up. But then I found an S instead. I have the whole kit for $150+shipping. Getting the water hoses in-between the fuel tank and the body is a major PIA though.

Finally completed this project! Been over a year. I had Precision do their adapter welding mod. It was the path of least resistance. I thought of the other options but the thought of being 2 hours away from home and loosing coolant all over the highway didn't appeal to me. Total cost to add the S center radiator to my 99 Boxster was about $275 including Precision's cost. Recouped some of my cost sold some left over coolant pipes on ebay. Took me about a day to do with frequent breaks.
