JC:
I agree with what you feel is a problem, however, by using a short piece of curved hose where the tube attaches at the top of the radiator the concern is eliminated. Many different angles are available to help alliviate this problem. Make the majority of the run out of a "L" shaped tube, it will look better and the short pieces of connecting hose will reduce the chance of an actual hose failure.
