Default Valley Hose

Does anyone have a pic of the fittings
Im looking for a closeup of the fittings themselves

As you all may guess my valley hose is on the way out which is complicated by the fact i'm weeks away from moving house (about 1000km's move) so I cant strip the car down right away and will need to get it transported to my new home

My intention is to replace the hose with an alloy pipe bent to the same shape as the valley hose and use threaded connections at both ends

I could sleeve the ends with a threaded tube and either shrink fit or tig the threaded tube on on (probably both) but Im also looking at tapping the ends and need to know how the hose barbs are connected. Ie are they a press fit or are the cast in ect

Cheers

No, in the end it was not the hose that was leaking.

However I will be doing it soon and I will post the details on how it was done

Cheers
