[urq] Any good parts to have 'on hand'for quick fix to heater hose failures? WX

[steven j]

I'd like to have some kind of rubber end caps ready incase any of my heater hoses go (WX) when I'm a few hundred miles from home.  FIrst there is the one elbow that goes from the metal pipe to the heater control valve which the dealer says is NLA.  I have the 2 new hoses to and from the heater but that looks like a 10hour job which I'll never do.  Bottom line - I could have 22 year old hoses here.
 
Did anyone buy some rubber end caps or plugs that might fit in the short rubber hose that comes out of the thermostat housing?  Maybe a similiar plug or pipe clamping device for the other end(rear of block).  You southern US folks don't need heaters - anyone abandon their in  a elegent way?
