Right before getting to a british car meet in Phoenix AZ, the little
hose busted on my car. I found that a great temporary fix is to use about
a foot of garden hose and connect the whole foot. It makes a large loop
next to the head (kinda like a trumpet), but is easy to install w/o
rmoving the radiator.
