Cracked Hose.

"Part Number is fb03-61-2110 if it is for a turbo fb01-61-211c

Well, it's not that one, it's http://www.atkinsrotary.com/store/pr...cat=655&page=1

It sounds to me that the easiest thing to do is just order it from atkinsrotary.com.

"If you intend to do this, be very careful when removing the hose from the fittings on the firewall.
The fittings are very soft brass, and it's very easy to crimp them.
Once crimped, it's very hard to bend them back into shape and have them seal well."

I have already removed the hose to take it around town to find a replacement. I do not know if I crimped the brass. If I did, What should I do to fix it?

Getto rig style?
Use lots of RTV, put hose on, tighten clamp.
Leave overnight to dry.
Then fill with coolant the next day.

What is RTV?

Look for something like this in any auto-part stores:

Permatex is common sealer.
Different colors have different sealing properties. You might want to read the back of a package of sealer to see what its good for.
Black sealant or Red sealant will be good for what you need.

It's back on the road! I put a temporary universal hose onto it. It works, however, Up by the firewall the hose dose have a small kink. I will order the correct part soon, and use the universal hose as an emergency back up. The brass part is okay, I did not crimp it.

Thanks to everyone for the help. Also, thank-you RETed and N.Rotary for the RTV info.
