Heater Hose (yes.. I have a heater!)

My 1981 Caterham has the original hoses attached to the original heater.. While the carbs were off I noticed the heater hoses were looking a bit tired so i would like to replace them

I dont know the internal diameter.. Rather than disturb them i thought i would ask here Also they are both are a straight length of hose but forced into a 90degree bend immediately after the heater unit. I would like to source a couple of hoses formed with a 90degree bend.

Any wisdom on these points anyone?

Hi Minty
Your heater is an early type with 1/2 inch pipe outside dia.
The water pump fitting is generally 5/8inch also manifold outlet 5/8inch
I cannot remember the lay out of your heater plumbing, if you go for standard rubber
put the hose end in boiling water and the 1/2 hose will stretch over the 5/8 fitting much easily .
