[Tigers] Lower Radiator Hose

[Curt]

Funny, I ran into that same problem on my old Tiger. The car would overheat 
at high speed and I couldn't figure out why. Finally watching the car with 
the hood up and high rpms I saw the hose suck right down to flat. Given I 
was at the Dearborn United at the time I put a whole pile of hose clamps on 
the hose to keep it from collapsing. That worked although not very sightly. 
I added a spring from an old hose as has been suggested. I guess some of the 
"bottom" hoses we get were originally "top" hoses for other applications and 
the spring was not a concern.
