Ok, on to my next brick wall.
I have purchased some original looking heater hose with cloth wrap. I have run into a problem with the hose not fitting the engine adapters and the heater core copper pipes.
I checked both ID's and they are both 1/2"
I tried a heat gun, washer detergent, etc.
I then went to my local parts store and got an off-the-shelf foot of 1/2" and 5/8"
The 5/8" fits fine - maybe a little to loose.
The 1/2" is the same problem.
A buddy of mine came over who does a lot of work of boat engines and said the hose I have in a marine grade and very hard and not pliable by design.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
