Hey Guys!

Two Questions.

1st - Can I use normal nylon tubing from Lowes or Home depot for my Expansion Tank to Radiator and Expansion Tank to Throttle Hoses? Someone said I can use any tubing but vacuum tubing but isn't nylon tubing for vacuum? The current hose seems to be a rigid plastic and not rubber.

2nd - I recently noticed my door wasn't staying open, the little piece of metal that holds to open was inside the door. So I pulled it out and used a small bolt to keep it in place since the plastic piece was gone.

Now every time I open or closes it has a loud click followed by a faint click always at the same spots. Any ideas why? It's connect just like the other door only difference is metal bolt and not the plastic but its the same size.

Do you think the metal piece could have gotten bent since it was inside the door for so long?

 

The same hoses on a D1 are rubber. There will be hot coolant in there, up to 250 degrees F, plus up to 20 PSI.
