I don't seem to have a metal ring or sleeve on/in the heater hose. I can compress it with my fingers. I'm going to see if I can compress the hose (wiht tools) to prevent coolant loss. This would be alot easier if the engine wasn't in there, or at least the alternator.
I haven't yet decided where to mount the filter. It could go behind the bumper, or as you did, mounted to the frame. That will be the first step. And I like your idea of routing the hosed before cutting into the heater hose.
I guess I have to fix my wife's VW Vanagon first, then onto the real van!
