Try Nashville Rubber and Gasket, one block off Elm Hill Pike near Briley Parkway. If they can't help, there is a gasket and hose place in the old Sears auto service center at 6th. Ave. and Lafayette St. in the same area as the Nashville rescue Mission that's housed in the old Sears store.

Or, use bendable 1/2" tube with fittings (as shown at the link below). GM used bent metal tubes, presumably to clear exhaust system parts. http://chevy.oldcarmanualproject.com/shop/1959trucksup/59ctsms0803.html | | | | | Joined: Oct 2012 Posts: 233 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Oct 2012 Posts: 233 | Thanks Jerry and TC. Nashville Hose was able to supply one hose and reuse my fittings on the second hose so we are moving forward.Mtneermike
