I commented on a Facebook thread where someone was criticizing someone for using a universal style upper radiator hose and wondering what other shortcuts they'd taken.
I mentioned that the fitted hose is like no longer made for that odd year/engine combination.
They replied that I should look harder.
Well, I found the hose in question. It's 20 years old.
I don't think I'd trust that on my car.
New Old Stock is a Godsend sometimes.
But other times the part is deteriorating while you watch. Rubber parts are in this category.
