Funny, I ran into that same problem on my old Tiger. The car would overheat
at high speed and I couldn't figure out why. Finally watching the car with
the hood up and high rpms I saw the hose suck right down to flat. Given I
was at the Dearborn United at the time I put a whole pile of hose clamps on
the hose to keep it from collapsing. That worked although not very sightly.
I added a spring from an old hose as has been suggested. I guess some of the
"bottom" hoses we get were originally "top" hoses for other applications and
the spring was not a concern.
