Hi Claudio,

I just replaced mine on my '87 Westy GL and I did it with a kit that I
bought from Ken at VanAgain.  He included instructions that made it easy for
even a novice like me.  The proper hose and some really nice clamps are all
included.  I HIGHLY recommend you buy it from him - worth every penny.

Peace,
Marla
'87 Westy Van "Morrison"
