When I was putting my engine back in a few years ago, I mistook the Cowl Drain
hose as something more vital then it was and looked all over creation for a
Silicone HI temp 3" hose that I could use. After some fruitless searching, a
hydralic hose shop sent me to a Semi-truck parts place and I just went in and
wondered the aisles with the parts guy for awhile and they found a High-temp
silicone hose that would fit the bill. Of course, when I realized the hose I
had could be necked off a little bit and still work fine...I'm not sure what
happend to it after that. Short answer: Try a big rig parts place.

Subject: [Roadsters] OT: looking for high temperature hose source
A friend has a 80's car that has a hose from the catalytic converter to
the engine. I'm assuming it is some type of pre-heating method.
Anyway, the hose has deteriorated and needs to be replaced. Local parts
houses and the dealer say that it is NLA. I checked McMaster-Carr and
didn't find anything. We only need a foot of it. I seem to recall that
this type of hose was made of silicone, but am not sure. Any idea where
to look?
Thanks,
Pat
