			Any opinion on who sells the closest to original reproduction 5/8 & 3/4 ribbed heater hose? Those that I've seen on the market seem to have the correct rib patterns; however, do not have the smooth hose surface like the originals. Rather the surface appears to have a woven pattern as the result of the underlaying mesh fabric that's evidently used for strength.
