You are in luck--the list of hoses is not in my Syncro at the shop, but in my garage where I unloaded everything before giving it up for the conversion.

Here are the four hoses: 025 121 058D oil cooler to pipe leading to thermostat housing 025 121 058J oil cooler to small pipe to waterpump 251 121 072A S shaped hose, coolant dist or R head (Syncro) 025 121 058G waterpump to small pipe to oil cooler

The one that failed was "G" (I think) or else "J" The other three spares are for sale--except to Tom Hargrave. ;-)

The repair: http://jones.colorado.edu/jones/SS08Moab/ about 2/3 down. I'm still thanking Jack and Serge!

Richard
