Re: Lower Radiator hose???

[<mail@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I went to a different oarts store at lunch time and they had the hose I needed in stock.
well, at least I think it is the right one! I won't get to try it on for size till Friday, But when I do I'll finally be at the point I can start the thing and let it run for more then a few minutes! It's getting close now!
