Three reasons I can think of...Teedyo wrote:Why would anybody retrieve coolant hoses from a junkyard???
1) Recently replaced hose might be essentially "as new"
2) Silicone hoses last virtually forever (I've often suggested that one of the blue silicone hoses used on a Crown Vic cop car or taxi is a good donor for Saab 900 radiator installs
3) OEM hose NLA, so you gotta get what you can get
Adding a new item from the recent thread...
16" spare (donut) from a Saab 9000 (high-end models like CSE and Aero) for clearing "big" brakes
And yes, eventually I'll get around to consolidating all these items in one post for easy printing.
