I need new heater core hoses for my 79" 210 wagon

I have been looking for OEM stuff and no dice, does anyone know where i can get these hoses or

any good after market stuff?:blink:

Good aftermarket can be bought from Gates. Rockauto, Oreillys, autozone, etc all carry it. Just standard 1/2" heater hose.

 

The OEM hoses are thin-wall and pre-formed. You can get them from Nissan.

So after market is the way to go then.:lol:

Actually I much more prefer the OEM Nissan parts. They cost a bit more but look better.

Last year in the "How to" section I put a write up on fabricating preformed hoses for the 410 / 411 heater, both half inch, using available hoses and brass fittings from Home Depot. Your routing will differ but take a look, I'm sure you can cut, rotate and fit the hoses I used to fit your routing.

I couldn't find the molded hoses anywhere. Ended up just using standard heater hose, I got more than I thought I would need, connected to the heater core first then routed through the holders leaving enough slack to not collapse the hose where it bends. Also really had to stretch out the end on the hot side. http://m.flickr.com/photo.gne?id=6654243469&s=23124292&sig=fb407765990a863e59a3655e8b1faa89&time=1325962614

You didn't check with Nissan, they are the only ones with the custom heater hoses.

 

But like most Ratsuners, you get it done right and for less money.

 

Win-win.
