Replacing small coolant pipes around 2.1 DJ engine

Hi
I've had my main front-to-back pipes replaced, and have just had one of the small coolant pipes go. What should I replace them with? Garage man says use high-pressure fuel line of the same gauge - it has the weave within the rubber rather than on the outer surface. I can't upload a photo because the board's full, but it's about the size of a thick pen.
And ... should I keep the original pipe clips or get new ones?
Cheers.

That will be because you are attempting to use the attachment option.Follow this instead. https://club8090.co.uk/wiki/Mi ... g_pictures I and a lot of others use photobucket.

fule line is not good to use on the cooling system, i used some on mine when i did the engine swap as a tempary measure, just to get it going, as soon as it warmed up they went uber flexable. and felt as if they were going to bust at any moment.

source the right hoses.
