I'm finalizing a plan for replacing the hard section of the return pipe.  I
noticed that the soft peices up at the radiator side that connect the hard
feed/return lines are both quite soft.  I expected them to be firm, like
most all cooling system hoses feel.

I suppose this means they should be replaced as well?  I so, I suppose I
should be replacing any other hoses that feel as soft?

I'm somewhat to to this portion of the hobby/craft. Thanks for advice,
