Since the engine is an I4 is there any reason why some  plumbing system
from an I4 shouldn't be used? would need a bit of creative thinking/part
use, but may solve the problem of NLA hoses....  I've been pondering
this since I seem to have got my I4 running at an OK temp again with a
jetta coolant bottle.  I  keep an eye on the bottle level.....and have
an extra long input hose on it to allow the bottle to be lifted above
the level of the rad when bleeding system..

Some of these hoses are NLA, aren't they?  Well, I think the Tiico folks
make some, but I remember them being more expensive than that.

I'm pretty sure this is the same as a diesel Vanagon manifold, so this
is another item you can get off a diesel parts van...
