David, It is possible for us to mold repro's of these parts. However, a cheaper/easier solution may be to have a stainless steel tube spider/s welded up and use conventional hoses to make the appropriate connections. They would be permanent, trouble free and only the conventional hoses would need the occasional replacement. -Steven Dodson Kneeland, CA "Inga" the 87 Syncro

While we're on the subject, what are diesel owners doing about those weird 3- and 4-armed hoses that are NLA for '82 models? Mine look and feel okay, but the idea of blowing one and not being able to get a replacement worries me. _ _ __ _ _ _| | | | David M.
