Well, I'm not dissapointed in the price. I got my lower one for $55.00 and the upper one was $52.00 both in the brand Conti!
Good point though! I'll keep the metal portion and take it to a hose maker, we have one real close to my house, and have him make up a spare set! Good Advice, thanks, I never thought of that! If no one has had problems with the Conti, then maybe I'm just a little paranoid since this could cost a new engine!
