Have you posted a WANTED ad in the classifieds?

Check valve hose, check valve line? I scoured the ads with different descriptions and nothing to be had. I'm sure I have a couple, but like you, where the fuck do I put this stuff? I'll look this weekend, no promises though.

Randy I will look thru my stock but I don't think I have a spare of that piece. Ken at TheBusco or Avery Air Cooled is a good place to ask. Also you might check with a seller here who appears to be parting buses in CT named BusLust. They have a lot of parts listed here. That part should be on any FI bus but lots of folks cut that stuff pulling engines out.

Isn't that just vacuum hose? Go to your Flaps and cut some to size... or am I missing something?

Thanks Guys! It is sort of tough finding similar plastic tubing that fits into the little rubber 3 way connector on the air plenum.

I would bet real money that the missing tubing is likely in the shop somewhere, but I can't remember just where I put it. I will get ahold of Ken at the Bus Co.

I don't really have a good source for NEW similar plastic tubing for this and other stuff (like the fuel vapor recovery bottom air feed). Anyone have a good link?

The part itself is NLA, but Ratwell lists it as 13mm OD plastic…

I will buy you one of these if you'll test it for us. Razz

one end is enlarged for the check valve. It is not a normal piece of tubing.

I'll ask Bus Lust, his name is William. I'll text him Randy and let you know.

Hi Randy - I looked but don't have one of those spare tubes. Had to get the one I have and the part between the check valve and metal tube from a donor at Interstate as I recall. The only tube I have is the tee to decel - #C.

Steve, thanks for looking. I am still looking around my shop for it and it is likely still in there someplace. Somebody gets in there and leaves a pile empty of Guinness cans everywhere and I think it is me.

I could also likely just try the link that Robbie posted and just use a 3/8" vacuum check valve. I think the check valve is a pretty basic thing.

I have not even had time to send an e-mail off to the fine used parts guys on the samba yet.

dark Guinness is a good beer - family is of Scot and Irish descent so it fits. Smile

I sent an e-mail to Ken on your behalf to see what he has. Do you have the check valve and clamps etc? Plastic hose forward of the check valve Ok?
