I have always used generic 1/2" heater hose, bought by
the foot. I use a bit of Permatex #2 sealant on the
joints and good quality 100% stainless US-made clamps.
My car's cooling system has been performing flawlessly
for years: never overheats, never leaks or loses
coolant, the radiatior always stays 100% full.
