Heater Hose
I’ve got a Two-Sixties upgraded hose on order & plan to install it myself.
As I’m new to all this, will I have any problems getting the restrictor out of the old hose? Thanks, Steve. |

Quite allot of evidence that the inside of the elbow at the engine bay end will fracture at some point in the life of the car. Al depends on whether you feel lucky.

It's not a case of 'if' with the OE part...it's 'when'...
...and the strengthened hose is cheaper, yet infinitely better quality than the OE hose... Do it..
