Cooling system leaks

[Me_Rock]

Howdy!

One of the rubber tubes in my cooling system has sprung a leak. It seems to be number 12 on this diagram: http://www.worldoftriumph.com/triumph_motorcycle_parts_locator.php?block_01=&block_02=304202&block_03=23773

$100 seems a bit steep for one little hose. Is there any other supplier that I can get one from?

Thanks!

100 dollars!?!?!

Ebay would be where i'd start.. ..... or knit one out of gold thread it'll be cheaper.

Perhaps I could make one myself. The tricky part will be the T line!

I don't recall paying more that about USD 30 from Jack Lilley for mine, have to check the receipts.

I know there ar least one company in the UK who will make up a silicone rubber house  sets in the UK to pattern as a mate of mine had a set custom made for his Rangie for less than USD 350, must be able too do it in the US if you really get stuck.

I managed to fix the problem by positioning the thermostat under the hole and tightening a hose clamp around it. Fixed for $2.50!
