I was talking to a guy at a local industrial supply place about some
"rubber" hoses he had; he called the distributor to get the specs and they
were chemical/gasoline resistant and so on (designed for marine
applications). Seems like it was about $2/ft or something (it's been a
while). I've haven't had a problem yet but when I do I think I'll go that
route.

Cya,
Robert

Subject: Coolant Pipe Alternatives?

Hello Vananaughts,

All the stainless steel coolant pipe info I have been reading lately
has made me wonder one thing.   Is there an alternative to stainless
steel aftermarket coolant pipes?   ABS? Rubber?  Chicken Gizzard?  I
called my local VW dealer today and they informed me all he could get
were plastic return pipes.  All the plastic from engine to radiator
pipes are gone for ever.

Thanks,

Jeff
