    Does anyone sell or repro this hose that goes to the washer reservoir with the yellow stripe?

    Your best bet is to get an original off a low mileage car. I have the repro on my 71. The current repro yellow striped hose tends to dry rot within a ear. Not just this repro but all of these repro vacuum hoses. I bought a set of striped vacuum hoses and they lasted a year. All the ends cracked and split. Wound up throwing them out

    Frank McIntyre, AKA Buicfrank, was doing them, but I think he sold everything he was reproducing to a couple of the major Vendors (CARS was 1) and quit the Business.

    I purchased one of Frank's hoses several years ago. Yes, they do split at the hose connections. Fortunately, I looped several inches of the hose behind the brake booster so when an end cracks, I just cut off the end, then reconnect.

    George,

    If you are not in a huge hurry and don't get one beforehand, I have a nice used original hose here. I won't be able to access until at least after the holidays.

    Today, I checked the yellow-striped hose I bought from Frank. The hose is full of fine cracks. Will it leak? Do not know as I have never had to use the washer. I will just buy some regular black washer hose.

    I had the same experience with the repro I bought. Can't remember where I bought it. Yellow stripe looks great, rubber is cracked and dry rotted.

    Amazing 40 year old hose is better than new? I have original in a bin and still perfect. Going to keep it. 70 used thinner brownish yellow stripe. 71 had wider brighter yellow. May have been different vendors? This is just what I have taken off original cars.
