JB Welding barbs... necessary?
I'm thinking of going the ghetto route, buying a heatercore at autozone, sawing off the in/outlet, and hooking it up that way. I've heard to attach hose barbs with JB Weld in the in/outlet. How necessary is this? Could I just put the tubes over the in/outlets (providing that they are able to fit) and use hose clamps? It's not the cost, rather that I wonder what the benefit is other than providing a mate for tubing that might not fit the in/outlet. Is that it?
