Fresh air intake hose

[jestlurnin]

Finished my full tune up yesterday on the 87' 60.

It's bothering me that my fresh air intake hose that hooks up to the air cleaner is cracked on the bottom at almost every level.

Anyone know where to get a brand new in the box OEM or repop one? I thought for sure @Racer65 would have them but unless I'm missing something he does not.

Cheers

I believe aftermarket options are the only solutions. Someone was making a comparable hose a year or so ago here on the forum. Others have gone to the local autoparts and picked up a similar fitting hose.

Thnx @87CRUSR if anyone can remember the mud member that was turning these out I'd appreciate it! For some reason I have an aversion to getting auto parts store stuff that "almost" works... call me a Cruiser snob...

I still think @Racer65 should add this to his line up

 

[Racer65]

Check out this thread. There may be other solutions as well.

Bought one from him, but it's for my '76 FJ40.

member BTUMAN is making those hoses. Try him.

This one works great and it's inexpensive. Not flimsy and fits perfectly. I'm using it.

I think I have 2 of those hoses that are not cracked. Used but OEM. I can look tomorrow night. Message me and remind me.

Everyone thanks for the replies! @wngrog you sir will be getting a pm tomorrow evening!

I'd be interested in the other one if not cracked.

I'll look tomorrow. I was thinking they were both interior defrost tubes until I clicked on the link and saw what the CCOT ones looked like.

I used same one as @OSS. It connected to the air pickup that mounts on lower DS. It looks clean and is quite sturdy. I'll try to attach pic tonight. if WnGrog hooks you take the deal. Most folks sell them for $$.

I used that Pep boys flex tube for my 60 to hook up the snorkel. Good quality.

I hope the ones I have are good for y’all for OEM look.

Now that’s what I call a fine and and well-thought-out installation in a very clean and uncluttered engine bay...nice job, wngrog! Certainly is a thing of beauty! I also use PepBoys, among others, as a go-to aftermarket supplier on special projects.

Thank you. It was a 3 week project that I just finished off with a 700+ mile test drive. Build thread in the 60 section search my username.

Sorry guys. I found one crappy hose. The other one is evading me. Can’t find.

Dang! Thanks for looking!
