laotsu Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 so SHIT, my inlet heater hose blew, Nissan part # B7020-B2000. Called Nissanparts.cc thye don't anticipate ever seeing one and the same nation wide from what I could gather. Found one NOS on E-Bay for FUCKING $64.00! Fuck that shit I aint paying that. Anybody got any ideas on where to find this part. Its seems too small and kinky to use straight tube with the benders. I guess I could just bypass the heater but I need the defrost in winter... BTW this is a '71 521 L16 Quote Link to comment
dat521gatherer Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 Yeah that guy is really expensive for the original braided hose. The more recent ones are non braided and are cheaper. I got my last few from nissanpartscc. There is a guy on ebay that sells them for cheaper but I dont see them listed at the moment. Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 Parts store and look for hose or 2 with tight bends (look behind the counter?) Cut what you need of the hose, and if necessary use a metal pipe to connect the 2 elbows. I have seen it done on 510s which has the inlet a little further to the drivers side. Maybe use a 510 hose and cut it down? Quote Link to comment
dat521gatherer Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 I just got a ebay message from reddat saying he no longer has the non braided one. I did notice last year there was a big jump in price on nisssanpartscc when they were available. You may want to post in the wanted section. Many members have extra's. 1 Quote Link to comment

raggmann Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 I built mine I'll get a pic tonight Basically I got a 90 degree hose and some brass pipe fittings-works perfect Quote Link to comment
raggmann Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 Here yah go: stock modified It's a 1/2"npt male street 90, a 1/2"npt male x female adapter, and a 1/2"npt male x 1/2" hose barb 90, and a 1/2" molded 90 degree heater hose. Fairview fitting numbers are: X115-D (or 116-D) 120-DD 125-8D The nice part is if the 90 hose bursts again you just gotta get it. Hell, you could keep a spare in the glove box. As you can see there's lots of room where it passes behind the head too. Hope that helps Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 (edited) In the":How To" section I wrote up a procedure complete with part numbers for the 411 series heater hose replacement. Pretty sure the same part numbers will lend themselves to fabricating a replacement assembly. http://community.rat...d-heater-hoses/ Updated to show original entry with part numbers Edited July 4, 2012 by MikeRL411 Quote Link to comment
