Time stamp 6.41 for the relevant bit about the hoses.

edit: I think I need to get some of those hose benders thingies.

Interesting concept, wonder how fine the line is between heating it enough to get the bends but not too much as to effect the hose structure.

Great idea!
You would recon it would try and straighten out when you get a bit of heat in it [ie: heater hoses] and around it [ie: engine bay].

Well it actually will come in handy for the turbo drain hose on my Skyline so I ordered one last night. Will report back once I try it.

Yeah I've got to do a couple of custom heater hoses so I'm keen to test this out too.
