Do you know of an online store where I can order some Gates Green Stripe coolant hose? I am having endless badluck with my delorean. I found a coolant leak last night due to my lights becoming dim and my alternator belt squeeking. The alternator belt has cut a hole in the RH coolant pipe and the coolant was making the belt slip. The coolant sprayed out and hit the belt and flung it all over the effing engine compartment. thanks, Adam Price vin 16683 delorean of doom --- In dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, "Toby Peterson <tobyp@xxxx>" <tobyp@xxxx> wrote: > I second Greg's experience with the Gates Green Stripe.
