Subject:      Source for 1-1/4" ID flexible coolant hose..
Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed

Good morning All, I was under "Buba" this weekend and they have worried me long enough. It is time to act. I am speaking of the very rusty last few feet of the coolant carrying metal hoses that run from the front of the Van to the engine bay. Periodically there is talk of flexible "heater hose" with 1.25" ID, that will take the place of the rusted (and tired) section of these metal pipes. I have already replaced (the return pipe I believe) the last bend section before the engine bay with a well crafted (my Father IS a craftsman) copper piece but the few feet before it now have me worried. Is there a person who knows where I can get this material (1.25" ID, flexible, coolant carrying capable, hose) to put my mind at ease, Please? Ken W., you came through for me with the very rare section of hose that connects my passenger side head to my front heater core (thank you again), do you have this material? Thank you to all for your time and consideration.

Rich and Annemarie 85 GL "Buba"

P.S. We will be going Friday night (Sept 14, 2001) to pick up our 3'rd adopted child at the airport. We have been waiting (and praying) for a long time now for William to come home. He will be coming home with us in our 1985 VW Vanagon GL, "Buba". His first ride in America to his new (and forever) home will be in the Van... Can't wait...
