Found a replacement for ye old drain hose at Osh hardware Store. They sell 20' lengths of irrigation hose for $25.
The existing hoses seemed a little short. They went through the tin ok but exited above the heat exchanger. In any case I cut them on the long side so they will drain near the bottom of the rocker panel. Here's some pics of what the hose looks like........ Attached image(s) |

Didn't have the right tool to control those%*$@& clamps; went with NARP hose clamps.
