Doing the rear heater delete and like most have found, getting the Gates green stripe is almost impossible.
I spend a lot of time on McMaster's website and they never give brand names but often going by description you can figure it out. Like their constant tension hose clamps are Breeze clamps, etc. Well they had a coolant hose listed with a description of black w/green stripe. I thought those sneaky bastards so I order half a dozen feet at $9/ft. When it arrived I was very surprised to find it is definitely not Gates hose, but it is incredibly heavy duty.
Anyone know anything about this stuff? Thermoid by HBD. Should I try and make it work or keep looking?
