"Ive also seen somewhere that you can use one of those "hammer-on barbed irrigation coupler fittings" as a quick trail fix for radiator hose. if you get a hole and cant fix it, cut the hose at the hole (all the way through)and put one of those in, clamp it off and your good. its ONLY a quick fix- enough to get you off the trail, back to the trial head to get parts.
you can get these anywhere that has irrigation supplys. i cant for the life of me remember the size needed, for any make or model vehicle."
In a real pinch even a deep well socket ill work as well. I blew a heater core hose coming back from Wyoming one time between rock springs and rawlins so i used a deep well socket and it held together great all the way back to denver. Even drove on it that way a little longer while i looked for the fitting i wanted.
