Haven't done it yet.  Found 1" red "heater hose"
at an Advance or Autozone and bought the whole
box (25 feet for about $25).  I was worried
because someone suggested I needed 1 1/8 hose,
but the 1" hose actually looks bigger than the
pipes.
I need some kind of adapter to connect the new
red hose to the stock hoses.  Haven't made it to
the hardware store yet.  I'll post once I do.
(It may take a while as I have several things to
do on the bus like the front heater fan, change
the gas tank, and maybe some CV work.)
