buy some plain hose (same internal diameter) and route the pipes round the top mount and away from the belts! Thats what i would have done if i could be bothered.

From what i remember the two hoses have different internal diameters

When i did my head gasket i noticed one of mine had worn quite deeply, but not all the way through. I cut the pipe either side of where it was worn. Then i connected the pipe back together with a metal pipe connector and two hose clips. I then used some cable ties to stop a repeat performance.

I also marked the belt with a paint pen so i can easily tell if it has been rubbing again.

I still cant understand how those tiny lugs are meant to hold the plastic tray and stop it from just falling onto the belt. I wouldnt have taken much for them to have that slightly higher would it.
