    Default heater hose

    All,
    I'd like to make myself a heater with a radiator in the cabin.
    Therefore I have to put the 1" coolant hose via a T-piece through the FW.
    I need a 90 degrees bulkhead, and the only bulkhead I could find was this one AN848 - there has to be a less-expensive way. Isn't there??

    The system in my ship (and the one I think being sold by Kitfox) uses 1/2 inch hose to the cabin with the cabin core in parallel with the main radiator. I used straight barb fittings though the firewall.

    I just ran the 1/2" heater hose thru grommeted holes in the firewall. Thats the way the SS7 build manual said to do it.

    I just went to the auto parts store and picked up a 90 degree hose.
