You could buy the repro tee from Airheadparts. I bought 2 recently, and they are a beautiful little product, for the reasonable price of $20. Better priced than some of the competition.

Yup, in fairness to the seller, his header said $47.50, but his text modified that price and said $37.50 including shipping. Seems the seller raised the price 26.7% in his favor in the last hour, or corrected a mistake, or both.

Iam a MFG, not a retailer or dealer
I have various shops sending me various assys to be made that are NLA
90 % of my work is die cutting seals and hose assy for various aircraft models, I have all the tooling for aircraft from 1947 forward
I had a local guy ( bus) owner stop by for a breather hose and gave me this c hose and asked me to mfg
I paid for the tool and he got a freebie...
The tool ( mandrell ) is still not paid for
I think you should all be happy that there is someone doing low production parts that were nla in the first place...

Please find it in your heart to forgive us. Sounds like a Seinfeld line....something to do with soup.

I'm cheap and wrapped mine in electrical tape a few times. Seems to work okay. I'll eventually have to buy a replacement

I wish someone would repro part A,C, and G. Trying to get a straight piece of hose instead of the curved one at position G ends with a leak or a kinked hose if you don't get the length just right. I believe the hard plastic lines are NLA. I had to buy one used. |

a big X2 on G
what about making a cone shaped rubber piece
about the size of a dime
it gos in the egr valve so it needs to be able to handle
high heat & fuel
this rubber piece is the differance between a egr valve thats worth
$5 and 1 thats worth $100 or even $200
and in CA the egr valve can be the differance between life & death

I've installed the GeeBee C-hose and breather hose on my 79. Nice, snug fit, perfect lengths and great clamps.
Now ... about that S-boot ...
