Coolant bypass hose?

    I need to replace the coolant bypass hose on my 91 Hi Jet S83P. The hose goes from the head to a pipe on top of the engine. It's a molded hose and I'm not sure I could bend a piece of heater hose enough to fit properly. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement? The three radiator hoses were simple to find but I'm coming up empty on this other hose. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    You might try Magic Valley Mini Trucks phone 208 410 0280. It's been a while so not sure if they are still in business. I guess you have already tried the other vendors like G&R etc. If you have a friendly parts store around you might take it in and see if they have anything with bends that are close and you can cut out what you need. I've done that before.

    I’ve armored small hoses and kept them from kinking by putting them inside of springs.

    Thanks for the ideas. Looks like Magic Valley is still in business. I will give them a call on Monday. I'll figure out something that works regardless. Thanks!
