Hi All -
I like the look of the vintage brown paper heater hose (mine are a black plastic). Where is the best place to find this - is it still available? |

Black plastic was original. It's relatively thin material, and corrugated for most of its length, the exception being at each end, where the clamps go to secure it over the metal (or molded plastic) fittings. Paper hose is NOT original or correct for heater hose in the engine compartment of the 4 cylinder cars. It can be found, however, in a smaller diameter as part of the thermostatic intake air pre-heat apparatus on the 1972 engines.
