Re: Coolant hose replacement

["Adam" <acprice1@xxxx>]

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,
