Subject:Heater Core hoses NLA?
From:Will Taygan

'82 stock-ish diesel Vanagon - later radiator/engine hoses.

Sooo, my 2 year old heater hose has a tear in it right where it connects
to the heater core. (I was pulling the heater box to replace the fan).

The '82 hose is short, but has been dealer NLA for a long time (heater
valve by dash), so last time I cut down a later-style heater hose (valve
under floor) to fit.

NOW, even those are NLA.

Anyone have a substitute hose (or an import?) I only need the question
mark shape, not the under floor part. If not, I'll shorten this one an
inch and stick it back on, and head out to NAPA to find some hose with a
similar shape.

Thanks,

Will in Alaska.
