NAPA does carry 60mm x 18" long carb. preheater hose. I got some a month ago.

I understand they're unavailable but that carburetor pre-heater hoses will work. I've tried about five auto parts stores and nobody has 60mm (2-3/8") hoses. I also read in the vwtype3 archive that hardware stores have some flexible aluminum pipe that will work. I have been to about six hardware stores (Lowes, Menards, Home Depot and others) and none of them have it in a size that will work. So far I've spent about 8 hours looking and am starting to wonder if I will have to make my own. Anybody have a suggestion? The guy at an auto parts store told me that some trucks may require pre-heater hoses this size, but I've been unable to find any. > > > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ >
