The 1" hose will not flow enough water. The original pipes lasted 18 years. Replace once and they will last another 18 years. They are readily available although a bit pricey. Dennis

My mechanic suggests that I fit it with 1 1/4 inch radiator hose. My concern is that the hose will be broken up by any debris that hits it. Has anyone done this before? I called NAPA and the sell the hose in a 50' box for about $180.00. They told me that if I can use a 1" hose the cost will be much cheaper. Will the 1" fit? Any help is appriciated. Thanks, Sean
