The hunt for a hose pipe was on in desperation yesterday.
Fellow rider found a hose supplier near me - worth a shot. Off I went. It was an industrial hose supplier. Hoses were bomb proof. Two of the guys there really took time to find a compatible hose and clearly disappointed when they couldn’t.
The McGuyvered original Hose
Started off with this hose as back up - in case I couldn’t find anything else. Since this was not preformed, one of them inserted a metal spring to avoid any kinking when the hose is bent. As I said Industrial.
Then two unsuccessful runs to ATV and motorcycle power sports shops.
And then with google maps as my friend plotted out all auto parts stores along the way home. On the 3rd attempt, I ended up at Advance Auto Parts 10mins from my house !
The tech was patient and helpful and found a right hose with a good enough bend. Hose just needed snipping at each end.
The install was fairly easy. Done in 10 mins and not much Coolant loss.
Still have my eye on the Blue Samco Sports ‘cool’ Hose Kit !
