I have a 1978 MGB

I am sure many have replaced the heater hoses on the engine.

Any recommendations as to type , make, source ?

Is there a type that can be bent /formed and hold the shape ?

Thanks

Blair

Moss TRF VB BPNW LBC all the major supply houses carry the pre formed hoses.
Order from an MGE vendor merchant and get them at discount.

NAPA used to make a formable heater hose. It's cross section was sort of tear shaped because there was a heavy steel "wire" about 3/16" dia that ran along the length, formed into the hose. Great quality. Maybe they stull make it?

you can buy pre-formed ones from basically any vendor. i guess as always, you need to worry about inferior rubber. i would speak to Basil Adams (member on here, do a "search", his contact info is in every post). he should be able to get you a quality part at a good price.

personally, i got basically all of mine from Advance Auto Parts' "hose-by-the-foot." but, the present bottom radiator hose came with the car. admittedly, i bought a new one from either Moss or VB and it lasted maybe a year, then split/burst! i put the one that came with the car BACK on (saved it luckily) and it's lasted for a few years. go figure...?
