You can bend it where you want it and hacksaw off as much is needed. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 866 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 866 | I did the same as gazim, David, worked well for me! | | | | | Joined: May 2004 Posts: 1,312 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2004 Posts: 1,312 | I measured mine using a piece of wire to get the length, then went to local parts store and purchased corrugated rubber hoses. Seem to work fine - no flow or overheating issues. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | The top is the easiest. For the bottom....a friend of mine was building a rat rod and I happened to be in Advance Auto when he bought the bottom hose. I told him to save me the half he didn't use...... well, he did and it ended up being the right thing. I cut it off some but it worked good. So, I used one end of a hose Dayco # 71727. I guess I got lucky.
For the top hose you just need to measure length, go to parts house and look for a flex/corrugated hose that has the right size ends on it. That one is the easy one! | | |
