Guys, need some advise here.

The top water hose is weak, so it's expanding when the pressure builds up and the coolant warms up.

Tried to source a new top water hose, but I can't find one. So I bought two of these:

Plan is to cut up the new water hose to the shape of the old one.
Thing is I'm not sure both have the same diameter. I think they do, but I just wanted your opinion on this matter.

Thanks in advance!

If you are sticking to GM hoses I think thats the best you can hope for - otherwise why not try a black silicone hose - looks OE and will last longer.

Cheers Joff, checked the Roose website and they do silicone in classic black OE style...

You funny man!
I'll drop it off in Donny this weekend, could you finish it before Billing please!

Anyway, small update. Got a new bonnet logo:

So i finally got to work on the car this weekend. There was some filler on where the chassis leg meets the inner wing, so I investigated that part.

I'll have to clean it some more over the weekend, but it needs to be cut out and replaced with fresh metal.
Should I try to source new inner wings or just cut out the rust and replace?

Might be hard tho havnt seen any forsale for a while
