I meant don't get excited about it unless it actually causes a problem.

BTW: It was a couple of degrees below freezing here today but I'm smart enough to have figured out that the riding season never ends if you have a sidecar

I couldn't get enough hose from the one listed to make both but the lower hose is slightly shorter than Dayco A71651. I made the top one from the part in the tips and used my number for the lower one. The thermostat and cap fit perfectly.
