Looking for some help in identifying this hose. It's the molded one going from the barb on the reversed coolant manifold to the top of the expansion tank.

I've seen it in several conversion pictures, and I would really like to find one for my conversion. I tried blowing up this picture and googling the visible numbers but I've had no luck so far.

Thanks for the help!

Get some stiff wire and bend it into the shape and length of the hose you need. Measure the diameter each end needs to be, and head off to your friendly local auto parts store. They let me go in the back and look over all the molded hoses they had.

You cold also just ask Ben where he sources the hose he uses.

This is what I have for my Vanaru conversion manual.

Looks like Gates 18750 for mine.

Wow Dave! That looks like a very nice manual you have there. Have you ever posted the entire contents somewhere? I would be interested in seeing a copy.
