The 'O' In NOS

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.
