Hi Steve
Thanks for posting the pics of the car in Canada. I hope it still looks as good as you remember.
Hi Jack
Firstly I wanted to say how much I have appreciated your posts on this forum over the years.
There are specific rules for this forum "This is not a place to discuss or criticize a car or a seller." I think a PM would be more helpful in future
As regards your point. I do have a very pernickerty mechanic who I am sure would have spotted if there was a problem. Though I will obviously double check with him. The forum photos are not of a very high resolution. When looking at a higher magnification it looks to me as if the hose diameter is slightly wider then stock, and where they are clamped it creates the ballooned look.
Thanks
Stephen
