Replace T-Shaped hose off water pump?
I'm replacing the water pump and the small hose that connects to the pump is a T-shaped hose: one leg goes to the heater and the other leg under the engine (haven't looked it up in the manual yet).
Following the "while I'm at it" mantra, with everything removed from the front of the engine at the moment, I thought I should replace it. I called a couple of parts places and they don't carry it. The old hose feels fine (no soft spots), so I think I could continue to use it.
Has anyone else replaced this T-shaped hose? Is it worth it?
Thanks much!

Most of the Corvette after market parts houses carry the replacement hose. http://www.ecklers.com/product.asp?p...8&dept_id=1254

Is it legal to charge that much??? I think that fails the "is it worth it" test.

I also have some NAPA parts and I am building my own, I will say I do like the idea of the one piece hose better, but maybe $30-40 better not $80
