by Guest Sun Feb 24, 2013 3:46 pmI've been working on the electrical issues in my '68 A100 and now have the blower working as well as my temperature gauge. One thing I am in need of though are the hoses for my window defrosters. They appear to be made out of cardboard and have holes and tears all over them. Does anyone have any idea where I can track some down? Do they make repops or do I have to start scouring ebay and the salvage yards?

Thanks, DLX. I'll try and find out what sizes I need (unless someone on here has that info already) and try Napa.
This is what my eBay search turned up.

Recently used "Thermoid" brand carburetor pre-heater hose that seem to be working pretty good. Size - 50mm x 18" for driver side and 50mm x 21" for passenger slip right on there. Got them at Knecht's and they're probably available elsewhere.

That's exactly what I used, from Advance Auto. Think about the heat they are made to withstand......and be durable enough to stand up to all that comes with living in an engine compartment. I say, to use anything else, and pay mosy likely more, for less durability, would be crazy!
