Hose

[ShiFty268]

I was wondering if anyone know where i could buy some heart proof hose or even radiator hose kinda cheap. I need to fix the connection between pipe and exhaust. radiator hoses from car shops are kinda expensive.

We're talking exhaust gases here???

If so, there is an old trick which may help. Cit the lid and floor out of a tin can (Baked beans or whatever). Cut a slot along the length of it so it's just a rolled up piece of flat steel.

Buy 4 hose clamps and some high temp gasket goo.


Open the slot in the tin can wide enough so it wraps around the exhaust pipe, then coil it up tight as you can.
Smear the gasket goo around the exhaust and on the can wher it overlaps.
Tighten up all 4 hose clamps to hold it in place.It's NOT a permanent fix bu lasts a remarkably long time.
