Hi friends, I'm in the middle of a big job on my beloved '86 2wd vanwagon. Had a bad exhaust leak, discovered the classic broken stud issue and decided to pull the manifolds since I needed to replace the TPS anyway.
In the process of removing the two PCV hoses and a couple other small molded hose joints I had to cut the original hoses (they were quite brittle/cracked anyway), but of course these are NLA nowadays... For most of them I can just replace with new hose, but specifically for the more bendy PCV hose (part #12261-73021) I'm not sure what's the best route to go.
Wondering if anyone else has run into this and has any insight into possible solutions. Thanks and long live the space cruisers! Apologies for not uploading a photo, still figuring out the interface here but I'll keep trying.
