[DeTomaso] Beaded pipe

[John Taphorn]

The modified cooling systems on my Panteras had 90 degree hoses double 
clamped after the coolant exited the block.  In this application I run a 
remote thermostat so the stock thermostat is no in place.  On both cars, the 
force of the coolant exiting the block pushed the hoses off the pipe when 
the engines RPM's got high enough.

I used to believe beading was not critical: however, now I've experienced 
the error of my ways.
