How has everyone gone about moving the heater hose that's trying to occupy the space my BEGI DP needs to occupy? I saw Sam's thread on how to use an Escort hardpipe, but I don't have time to search the junkyards. I started college yesterday and I'm trying to tie up the loose ends so I can go home in a week, spend two days getting the car running, and then bring it down here for a week to tune it in time for Mazfest. I have way more money than time. Can I just nip a piece off of the end of that hardline and use a worm clamp to hold the heater hose on there, or will that leak? I don't have time to do a full coolant reroute, and I'd really like to keep my heater core since it doesn't leak or rattle and I use my car during the winter.

Any ideas for me?

 

If you look at their instructions you will see that you are supposed to take a huge *** piece of wood and "push" it backward to bend it back.

 

I did both, bent the line a little bit and cut off ~1" of the rubber line. Wrap that sh*t with some heat resistant stuff and you're golden.
