Don't splice together, will return hot coolant to engine without cooling.� Buy two half-inch diameter Stainless dowel pins (or half inch diameter carriage bolts with shank long enough so there is a section without threads for a smooth interface with hose interior), two hose clamps.� Cap the inlet and outlet hoses off, don't re-circulate.

I started to hear hissing under the back seat of my '89 auto 2.1 Westy. Anti freeze was coming out of rear heater core. What is the size of the hoses so that I can splice them together? This is a repair while traveling. Thanks.
