Talking Re: Upper Radiator hose ALERT
I had checked to find the same wear mark on my car. I dont run pressure in the coolant system and have less to worry about as a result.

I took a file and beveled down the posts shown in the photo so that they could no longer interfere with the hose. The little sharp edge of the plastic post really does a nice job of cutting the hose covering.


I have the factory hose clamp in correct position so I suggest that you all look at your cars before the trip this week to carlisle in the heat. It can happen to you too.

See ya, Woody
