I could not find a set of silicone radiator hoses for the 1995 Mirage. So I modified

a set that was made for a turbo 2G DSM (1995-1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse GST/GSX)

 

I basically cut part of the upper radiator hose (that needed to be removed for it to fit properly)

and then used it as an extension to make the lower radiator hose work on the Mirage.

 

Purple hoses were on sale... Here is where I cut the tubing - This is the "extension pipe" that I made up for the install

The extension pipe is 1.25" mild steel with a bead welded on both ends, then ground smooth
