Where do you guys get heavier duty heater hose. Looking for hose that don’t kink on tighter turns.

I usually bend a suitable copper tube, cut it as short as possible, apply some silicone grease and push the bent tube inside the hose. Works up to 90 degrees without problems. More than 90 degree bend might be difficult to push in....

See the return hose on the power steering pump - that's a normal hose with copper tube inside - 2 90 degree bends.
