So I'm getting ready to replace the coolant lines with a set of
stainless steel lines and wanted to replace the coolant hose for the
front and rear heater cores that run under it.

Should I just got with a good quality 5/8  hose like gates? I looked
up the part numbers from EKTA but none of the major resellers,
Vanagain, VolksCafe or BusDepot have anything listed. My local dealer
wanted like 180.00 a side.
