    Perhaps the mention above dealing with Gates Firewall hose would work? Not familiar with that product myself so I have no idea but something to look into.

      I’ve got regular hose on my car and it works fine. Just make sure the section you run is long enough you’re not pulling the hose taut.

        pretty sure I've seen people use just common bulk line.

          I ended up using Gates 18741 and splicing straight hose the rest of the way to the heater core

          Turned out nicely

            Not bad - only like a $10 hose and whatever other general heater hose to make it work.

              And now, after replacing the entire cooling system,the heater core is leaking

                C'est la vie.

                Leaky cooling systems suck, since usually wherever the final weak spot is, you will find it after you think you're done fixing the original problem. Flip side is though, if you're in a warm climate, you can keep the heater core looped out of the system in the interim until you're ready to tackle that job before it gets cold.

                  happens, sometimes just the faint disturbance of changing the hose is enough to crack that last teeny bit of solder holding things together.
