Coolant Hoses?
 

hey all i had another bad experience with cracked hose this weekend and all my water left my vehicle, so i cut the hose shorter once i found it, and re-tightened the clamp and made a fix... but now i would like to replace all the hoses so this doesnt happen to me again. the one that broke on me this weekend went from head to what it seems is the firewall, i think, i'd have to go look again, anyways i was wondering if that hose had a certain name, also where to get coolant hose kit. Wouldnt mind them looking like the new guys lexus steel mesh kit either, thanks ;) for any info

alright guys i found some sleeves to cover hoses, and found steel braided fuel lines, but not finding any steel braided radiator hoses or heater hoses etc. Looking to upgrade the cooling system cause dont like when my hoses go out on me while im driving ;) so any help is appreciated, thanks. Also will get pic on here of hose that broke on me this weekend, thanks in advance.

I think it is called the heater core feed hose because that is what it does you could always just buy some 1/2 inch hose and make a new one. Just be kind of giving on the corner and it should be fine.

Heater Water Outlet Hose Toyota part # 87245-24190 for a UK RHD

I would guess it would be the same for a US LHD

thanks for the responses guys, i had thought about just getting same size hose but it had some drastic curves so thought it might have specific part i can replace with, so thanks for the info on the part number, will be replacing soon.

ummm goto www.summitracing.com
that is were i got my steel braided kit for like 25$
they also sell the metal bends like 45o and 90o bends so that way you wont kink the hose if you goto your auto shop and just buy new hose. plus it looks pretty :)

search results

thats all the stuff for hoses for summit

so apparently it's $50 for that hose, with the 20% discount it got down to $42... so i said fuck all that shit. what else can i do... get the same size hose and get bends for it?

I just used a piece of straight GATES hose (top quality)from parts store and 'bowed' it over. No kinks, plenty of clearance, and looks OK.

You could get straight hose and come up off engine to a 90* elbow, then hose over to the heater fitting.

I think that's what i'll do, cause damn that is a pretty penny.
