Terry K has a hose that he made up to replace it. It is a few straight metal
pipes
with a couple hoses on each end to make up the shape of the OEM one. Its one
of those things were if you need it. It will work ,not pretty but will get
the job done.
Its advertised on the thesamba.com . The last hose kit I got this hose was
still included
so I made sure when I found out it was NLA it was getting stored safely.
Plus
I have a good used one that I'll hold onto just in case somebody else needs
it
in a pinch.
