That, actually looks brilliant.
The last time I replaced the heater hoses, I used Gates Green stripe.
I think I got it from Wilkinson the first time, and ebay the last
time. It's hard to get in small lengths... like those shorter than
50'. I didn't bother with any right-angles in hoses, but the again...
I don't recall the -old- hoses I took off having any right-angles in
them, so I had no idea.
That part looks like just the ticket. I may have to pick up a couple
just to keep on the shelf.

Dear Forum,
A fellow Pantera owner had a clever solution to the
right angle heater hose. Please see his note and pictures.
"Instead of using a preformed hose (that is probably not long
enough to attach at the other end) I used brand new 5/8" heater hose
and the anti-collapse coil in the picture. I don't know - - been 7
years or more without an issue. Makes the transition and provides
abrasive protection in a place where things are close."
Warmest regards, Chuck Engles
PS: the local NAPA *did* actually have the right angle hoses on the
shelf for about $13 each. They lads claimed that the NAPA hose is
made by Gates, for what that is worth. They are shorter that I
thought, but I expect to join them to the shut off valves. I * think*
that it will work.
