Needed: Coolant hose advice/venting/source
Well, I spent all day today swapping my radiator (WTF ON THOSE 7 MM SCREWS IN THE FAN SHROUD? REALLY?). I bought all three radiator hoses, swapped the t-state, was able to use generic hoses for the tee to the throttle body and for one of the heater lines.
I ordered the J-shaped hose today, but I also need the hose that goes from the water pump to the coolant reservoir. It is a 3/4" hose with a flare at one end. I can't find a source for it anywhere - any advice here? I fear that I may end up having to use an adapter to change the size down. Was NOT able to force a standard 3/4" hose onto the fitting on the reservoir.
Swapping the hoses on the metal crimp lines went quite smoothly. My dremel took off the metal crimps in all of fifteen seconds each, and I replaced them with 5/16" hoses (maybe a touch small) and clamps.
Anyway, where can I buy the water pump to coolant hose? What have you guys done about this one?
