I used Permatex gasket maker. I hope it works ok.
I cleaned off the patch on the trani with a wire brush then cleaned it of with acetone. Then I used a brush and covered it with fibreglass resin.
Form a gasket stuff is great... better than the OEM gaskets in most cases..
Your patch repair should hold up well, coat of paint on it and it will resist UV and last forever... :thumbsup:
Those OEM hoses with the cloth braid on the outside do end up looking ratty, they do last a long time...
