quick question

[spanner]

this is just an extension on the radiator question.
i couldnt manage to find the right hose today (top hose for a u12 bluebird) but i was able to order one in but will take a few days. the guy at auto one game me this hose that kind of suits the shape althought when i struggle it into place it has a slight kink in it. i was wondering, is this a problem or will the hot coolant and the pressure it is under straighten out the kink or im best to avoid this hose all together?

thanks for the help, oh and if u can tell me where i can actually get a top radaitor hose for the bluebird it would greatly appreciate, i have searched everywhere hehe, thanks

Kink wont go away with heat. Otherwise all hoses would loose shape with the coolant travelling through them.

Definatly get the hose that fits, even if its a different hose that still does the job thats all that counts.
