Thanks for your kind words A/D

I am testing a product called "Rescue Tape" that you might have seen advertised on TV. (http://www.rescuetape.com/) I do a tech talk (aka Diceman's crap) at our monthly car club meeting and I am planning to do one on emergency repair items to carry in your vintage car or truck. Or your new car as far as that goes.

Rescue Tape claims, among other things that you can repair a damaged radiator hose with it. Since I am going to swap the engine soon and will be replacing all the hoses I decided to sacrifice that one for the test. I drilled a 1/4" hole in it and then taped it up. So far I have put about 15-20 miles on it and it is holding fine.
