My Rover V8 has a 3/4" copper pipe that goes under the intake manifold
(Edelbrock). It is connected to the water pump with a rubber hose that
fits the route required. The other end should go to the heater (1/2"
spigot). My question is ... Can I get a 3/4" rubber elbowed hose that will
have a 1/2" end? Another question ...... Can clamp the rubber hose to the
pipe which has no bell end? I notice the heater spigot has a nice bell
end. One lister did say his rubber hose blew off the metal pipe but was
this because the hose had deteriorated or because the clamp was not on
tight enough?
Any comments would be appreciated and thanks in advance for any and all
responses.
