S14 RHD Heater Hose Q's

[EnemyS15]

I have a S14 converted to RHD. I purchased Rhd S14 heater hoses off of a member here and one of the hoses has a pin hole leak in it. So I am searching around to see if it's worth finding another one or just looking into these bendable/performance heater hose kits. I do not want to buy a bunch of different angled hoses and piece together a heater hose to fit the RHD. Anyone ever purchased any of these bendable heater hoses or performance hoses, that could recommend me a hose kit that I may use for the heater hoses?

Second inquiry is about the heater control valve. I am using the USDM heater control valve and it's bracket. I ran the line that open/closes the valve from the heater core, through the fire wall, and to the valve. My question is, If I was to just run the lines to the heater core without the valve what would be it's direct effect or consequences? Anyone who has done this RHD conversion, what did you do for the heater hose situation.

Thanks for any help!!!

i should have both rhd hoses laying around. if you decide you want another one lmk.

also on my lhd car i have 2 straight through hoses going directly to my aftermarket heater.
i dont see why you couldnt run them without the valve.
