There were several cuts inside the hoses and I have t-clamps holding them on, which add more pressure mushrooming the hoses. I will clarify that they APPEAR to be ok, but with their age and visual damage, might be leaking with enough pressure.


Edit: I picked up the usual Fuel filler, or reinforced coolant, hose in 2.5" to replace the OEM hoses. I am pretty sure they will hold up and are a tad more durable than the originals so should stand up to the added clamping pressure the t-clamps provide. we shall see.
