[DeTomaso] Heater Lines

[Will Kooiman]

Why not use.... heater hose?  If the hard tubes are gone, you should have
plenty of space.

My tubes are rusted so bad water won't flow through them.  It's not that big
of a deal, though.  The heater core leaks too.

I vote for stainless.  One could also wrap the lines with pipe insulation if
heat during the warm season was a problem, and you didn't (also) use heater
shut off valves.

     During my previous extensive search for the tin worm,  I removed the
hard heater lines that run thru the tunnel in the cab. I figured that I
didn't really need the heater,  I was WRONG!  I have frozen my ___ off more
than once since that modification was made.  By the way,  I didn't find any
rust in there and I doubt many cars would suffer from it in that area.  Now
I want to get my heater going again so I am planning to run some type of
line in the old location. The engine is out of the car,  so that will help.
What I need to figure out is,  what kind of material to use?  Copper tubing,
galvanized,  PVC,  stainless,  rubber,  rubber hose with armor?  Any
thoughts?

Thanks,
Art
