Hi Jim,
I ordered and received the Gates Coolant hose you mentioned in your posting
and it does seem to be the right length. It has a moulded bend which will
fir nicely but the diameter of this hose is the same throughout so I can't
get it to fit over the head connection. How did you handle that? I haven't
tried really hard yet since I can return it if necessary. PS the hose was
32.00 Can (about 20US) so it would be nice to use it.

Thanks Tony
