Default need help ASAP

blew the coolant line on my 96 formula tonight. its the one with the bleeder. Im assuming since it has the crimped ends, and is molded, a new one is expensive. does anyone have one laying around by any chance? Im between jobs right now, and any help would be greatly appreciated

Where is it blown? For a cheap fix, you can get a couple hose clamps, cut the hose to get rid of any shreds or tears, and get a brass union and clamp the hose back down onto the union. Even a small tube will work. I would recommend the brass fitting with ridges due to pressure issues.



Most auto parts stores will have something similar to that in one piece with same sizes in/out...

good looking out. the hose is paper thin though, so i need to either replace the whole thing, or bypass it till i can afford the hose.
