After EXTENSIVE archive searching I found the referenced chart, It is
(was) at the Old Volks Home, however their web site would not respond.
Is there a new site for the old volks??? did anyone happen to download
that NAPA conversion info? the Archives has some detail but no pix.
The Bus Depot has pix but no conversion to NAPA info. I could not locate
the referenced hoses in the Bus Depot database either. Ron did tell me
he is still working on a "replacement hose kit" for us water laekers,
available sometime soon?

I think I found the right hose at the dealer but their micro fiche pix
are like a bowl of spaghetti !  I will know on Wed. if i is te right
one.

peace

running with duct tape and aluminum taped leaking hose, actually works
