intake manifold hoses for 1.7?

[jkeyzer]

Pelican is listing the intake manifold hoses (the 4 short ones) for the 1.7 as NLA. Where can I get new ones?

Homebrew suggestions are welcome too... I tried 1.25" heater hose, that was a little too small.

Any ideas?

Sorry for the repost.

Umm.... Heater hose and some hot water to make it more pliable?

1 3/8" heater hose, with suitable hose clamps?

Thanks Dave. I found some 1 3/8" heater hose at Napa today. They at first said they had none but after some persuasion they found it.

Hopefully it holds up to the fuel/oil sprayed around in the intake.

I actually tried the hot water trick on the 1.25" heater hose - it made it just flexible enough to get one end on but the other was hopeless!
