    hi guys-

    ALMOST finished, and then i need one last thing..(isn't that always the story?)

    i need to get a longer length of hose longer than the one i currently have-it needs to be about a foot longer, so it can curl around the spare tire, when it's in...does anyone have any idea where i can source a length of hose like the one in the photo?

    thanks!

    phil

    Phil, try MSC Direct or McMaster Carr, they both have large selection of hose.

    It looks totally hopeless. I will send a truck now to take this hunk off your hands so you don't waste sleepless nights worried your hose is too small ;)

    There is an up side , you can steal the same hose from under the front fenders of the Sprint Special and to fix the Sprint Special you can pull the same hose off the Grifo.

    Excellent idea! Maybe to simplify, I'll use the same engine for all three cars

    Yes with 3 chains and a sprocket, you could run all three with one engine, but which one?

    Phil,

    That was a silly way to show off your restoration project. Looks great. Post more photos.

    Also, splice a few lengths of hose together with black duct tape.

    i wasn't trying to show off the restoration project, just asking for some help...it's actually at the tail end now-although i'll post a video of the first time i start the engine in almost a year-next week-i can't wait!
