Got a tight fit 90 bend to oil cooler from engine block on little JD
utility tractor. It's 1/2" heater hose; about 6" overall length.
JD shows nobody w/ the original part no in stock; can't find a local
source for a preformed 1/2" hose; regular hose collapses making the bend.
Tried adding an elbow; extra length of the elbow itself too long to make
the corner--the ends of two connections aren't but 1/2" or so from end
of one to centerline of other...
Clare -- any ideas how to preform a chunk or keep from collapsing?Â* I've
never run in to such a tight spot before couldn't manage something...out
of ideas at the moment.

Wrap it with #12 copper wire with maybe 1/4" or a little less per wrap.
