Marc, I definitely recommended changing all the hoses.  The kits from any one of the vendors seem satisfactory.  I think I got mine form Bus Depot.  One hose is not included, as it is NLA.  At the time I swapped all mine out, I learned of a work around by using two hoses from NAPA spliced together with a fitting.  Unfortunately I do not recall either which specific hose that was, or what the NAPA hose numbers were.  The information exists in the list archives.  mcneely
