Title: Heater hose AC to water pump
Post by: phils toys on February 24, 2008, 09:07:14 PM
My bobcat with ac had the steal heater tube from the "h" pipe to the water pump removed when i got it  an was replaced by straight heater hose  that eventually rubbed  on the smog pump . Fortunately i have been working under the hood  cleaning it up and replacing parts when i saw how bad the hose was.   After searching for my parts  car steal tube unsuccessfully   and looking on line for a replacement unsuccessfully i decide to see how close i could get at the parts store  just by describing what i needed.( Big advantage of living in a small town they have time to listen and look for many parts) They found one close enough here is a link  just in case some one else may need it.

If by chance some one knows where to get the steal one i would like to fix it that way  but it is much better than what was there

Is the factory AC tube different than the non-AC tube?

Try Classic Hose and Tube or find one in a local wrecking yard.
