Affixing rear heater lines

[itsaguything]

Just venting…. Who was the engineer that scoped thin gauge metal to affix the heater lines along the body to the rear heater…. news flash, they are all rusted out.

I’m thinking of using nylon zip ties screwed to the body. Anyone have a better idea?

Cheers.

Let me know what you decide, just found a little pile of rust bits on the garage floor the other day from the same exact thing

Just grab a 50 ft roll of 5/8" heater hose.

AC Delco/Gates heater hose $40: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000C9NINU/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Good time to relocate the factory hard lines from the soft lines at the bottom of the passenger side for bigger tire clearance while you're at it. Just make sure you don't cross connect the lines.

Why change the heater lines? They look fine.
I did use nylon zip ties with a loop on the end that I used for a stainless screw. I tapped holes for the screw.
Imho, it should have done like this in the first place.
