To that end, I can report that there is a replacement hose available from Orielly's, and anywhere Gates hoses are sold. It is a Gates 19663, is about 1" at one end and 5/8" at the other. I didn't measure the length but it is about 3 feet long. I cut it shorter to splice into my newer 5/8" where it passes down along side the passenger side of the transmission, because full length would have put the splice near the area of the rear cross-member where there is a lot of other things going on. My original hose end near the head, which I had left when I replaced the rest of the heater hoses was leaking thru pores in it, and so very hard to track down this leak. Of course this all occurred over 900 miles from home. This was on an 82 diesel westy.
