[urq] Small Coolant Hose

[Todd Phenneger]

Sure.
Small Rubber Hose.  Attaches to metal hose that goes behind timing cover
right?

Just cut some 1/2" Hose or whatever size it is and force it on there.  Its a
tight fit but works.

Then when you have time, maybe go through the entire car and replace them
all with High Quality line.

Good Luck
