Bypassing the heater core?

[willem445]

Hi guys,

At some point in time either my dad or grandpa decided to bypass the heater core. Im sure the heater core leaked or didnt work or something like that. I just want to bypass it for now until I get time to fix the heater core (not in any rush at all). The current bypass job is pathetic and leaks. I tried taking a small piece of hose and directly connecting the inlet and outlet but its a very awkward angle and the hose kinks slightly. Any idea what the best way to do this would be?

I attached some pictures to give a decent idea of what im talking about.



Also what are the sizes of the two different hoses so I can get replacement hose?
