For anyone interested, I found the fiberglass hose repair kit that I had mentioned in a post about a week ago. I bought it at West Marine but don't expect the salespeople to know about it. It is not in their catalog but is carried in the stores. Here is the link directly to the manufacturers website and product page http://www.durapower.com/prod01.htm It is called "Pipe & Hose Repair Kit" by Durapower Products. My application of this product can be seen here http://www.intercom.net/~boatshop/VWHoseBandage.jpg I had a leak in the coolant hose and used this product as a temporary repair...although it has actually been in place for over a year. I used the 3x108 size, which cost around $25. The 1x30 size I bought yesterday cost $8.99. It is a great emergency item to carry! -Tracey |
