Who makes a decent hose attachment for an HPDI lower? I have a few different versions, ( Bob's and Mercury ) and they just don't work for shit.

I dont like how the Bobs works on a Bobs cone lol . The best cone attachment I have seen is Gary (instigator) on S&F fitted individual silicone tubes into the coolant entry holes in the cone and then fitted them into a garden hose fitting, drilled wooden dowel adapter maybe with a hose clamp to attach to the garden hose? I dont use my bobs for the same reason and have not had the time to make one of these yet.

Probably the same way I do. :lol: Yes you need a deep big ass bucket to drop a lower into enough for that to work.
Thanks for the responses guys perhaps I will try and mod what I have to work.

I've had good luck using a couple pieces of plastic hose that fit snug into the water inlets and then just splice it into a garden hose attachment

I get the feeling that just about everyone has had a near miss almost disaster story of running on a hose. Yikes!!
