Top hose Marina engine to Minor radiator

Hi guys,

I have just fitted a new minor radiator with the bent top pipe to my Minor, with a Marina 1300 engine.

Having the same problem as others on here with the top hose.

Thought I would try a Flexible EPDM reinforced Coolant water hose. It seems to bend easier and is rated at 3 bar. So far so good. Has anyone else had experience with these hoses?

What concerns me is the recesses in the rubber. could they be a source of cracking in the future?
