[T3] overflow hose -- new idea

	So, I recently came up with a replacement fuel filler 
overflow hose.  The problem is that it's the shorter one for '72-'73, 
not the right one for my '69.

	On the odd chance that anyone has a good earlier one for 
trade, please drop me a line very soon.

	The part I got came with the adjoining hard plastic "T" pipe 
for the tank end (as opposed to the filler end) of the hose.  If it 
looks like I can swing it, I may chop the too-short late filler hose 
in half, and use a section of this pipe as an extension for the 
rubber hose, kinda like this: ===--===  So, basically, cut the hose, 
stick a section of the plastic pipe in the break as an extension, and 
clamp it down with hose clamps.

	Seems like it might work fine...?  Kinda hate to chop up the 
good part, especially if there's an earlier hose sitting around 
somewhere!  (Er, besides the ones that ISP West sells at a high 
price.)
