might wanna get some heater hose too, because the hoses from the tap to the heater are more than likely perished and will fall apart when you take them off, they snap instead of bend :)

My hoses are still in pretty good nick too. Had to disconnect them from the heater core about a month or so ago and had plenty of flex in them still. If worst comes to worst I'll be getting the pushy out :yeah:

Had my mate help me today.
Took him about an hour to do it all. He was better equiped.
Now I have 5 hose clamps on (one didnt nip up right and was stuffed.) 4 are new clamps. :D
It's a lot better now that I know it's good again. :D
