Old enough to know better
Among my tasks right now is to replace my cooling hoses. I have the primary hoses coming from MWB, 4 major ones that are kitted and the 90° elbow to go from the thermostat to the bypass pipe.
So I understand that the lower hose to the coolant reservoir tank from the thermostat housing is a section of the Gates 18071 or the Goodyear 63068 (now known as Continental Elite) hose.
What is an equivalent upper hose to the reservoir from the thermostat housing? Or is common practice to use regular 12mm ID coolant hose?
Are there any other trick pipes one should acquire such as ones for the heater core supply and return inside the passenger compartment?
I ask this as despite searching I wasn't able to find a single place with the info. My search foo may well not be very good so my apologies in advance for not finding it in the WIKI or on the forum.
Many thanks to those who have trudged down this path already.
