You may be able to just cut off the bad part of the hose and reuse the rest if you have to. They stretch a bit.

I will try that. Does there need to be much slack for movement?

As long as it's not going to pull itself loose or tear again, you'll get away with it. I had to cut mine up when I went to a Koyo radiator, so the hose itself won't leak 'cause you hacked of 1/2".

But if the leak is in a place that means you'll be stretching things a bit too much, you're better off grabbing one from Kragen or something.

I was able to make it work, I just slid the hose up closer to the radiator and then slid the clamp back a little closing off the slit.

You can go to Autozone/Kragen/NAPA, they have a universal-fit part typically on hand that is trim-to-fit.

Not to mention the fact that they take all of 15 min. to replace.

I remember getting to an autocross one morning and after I registered I walked over to my car only to see a large stream of coolant coming from underneath. So I drove down to Kragen, replaced both hoses in the parking lot, and I still made it in time for the morning run group.

Gotta love the DSMs.
