Hey guys,

Does anyone know where I can buy the following:

1.The three heat/vent control cables

2. The hose from the air cleaner to the valve cover (5/8 ID I think) Would this hose need to be a gas/oil grade?

3. A series 1 radio, doesnt matter if it's working or not, I just want to keep the correct look on the inside.

If anyone can help me out let me know.

Thanks,

Randy

I have a radio You can PM me. Manny

Found the cables, but still need the hose and a series 1 radio......Anyone?

The hose definitely does need to be fuel/oil rated. I've seen heater hose practically dissolve in this application. The last one I bought was from Nissan, but I've since heard they are NLA. The factory hose had/has some sort of bottle-brush looking strainer inside it, but I really doubt that is necessary. I've been told that NAPA stores often have a decent selection of bulk oil-rated hose in various sizes.

Thanks Arne,

I'll try NAPA, everywhere else I have looked doesn't carry a oil/gas rated hose in that large of a diameter.

Arne, that brass bottle-brush thing is, I believe, called a flame arrestor, and it may still be available from Nissan. Worth a shot.

mally002,

I had trouble finding that same fuel rated 5/8 inch inner diameter hose a few months ago as I wanted to replace the hose on the gas tank that is all the way in the back of the tank that goes to the filler hose. I couldn't find it here at NAPA or at Shuck's auto supply but found a fuel rated multipurpose rubber hose that is 5/8 inch inner diameter at Andy's supply in Boise at (208) 344-3568. They told me they will sell the hose by phone order, this info added later.

edit: I just noticed someone is selling 5/8 inner diameter marine hose on ebay by the foot, it may be fuel rated.

Thanks Mike, that would be great.

FYI......I found some hose today at NAPA.

It is fuel/oil rated and 5/8 ID. My receipt says the part is NBH H-183. I went ahead and got 5 feet of hose, cost was $7.59

I won't be winning any concours events, but thats ok with me.

I found fuel rated hose that size (and others) at my local John Deere dealership, rated to 300psi too.
