I still have the OEM closed system. I am replacing everything today as a result of a leak from the upper hose at the heater core. I examine the heater core fitting carefully and it is know to be fine.
The only hoses available locally are Dayco with the one exception of the reservoir to the tee. I found this at Crown Auto and ordered it on Amazon.
The problem is the two longest hoses (water pump & thermostat housing connections) are not the correct length. All auto parts stores have the same hoses available so, I must make these work for the time being.
A member with username 5-90 (or similar) converted his system to copper tubing but, I was unable to find his thread. Can anyone refer me to this?
I do not recall the details and wanted to review his work before attempting to do this on my Xj.
