Re: Stupid Question

You dont want to just get one long hose? and well you can get some of those plastic double ended barbs I think or even some type of metal ones at autozone.

Re: Stupid Question

Well to be honest I have a small hunk of braided hose I was going to use for the top and then connect it to some cheap rubber hose once it is out of sight I know I am a tight ass do you think it will work ok with a hose connecter of some kind? Maybe just a small hunk of metal 3/8 inch fuel line will work I just dont have any at the moment.

Re: Stupid Question

A piece of 3/8 fuel line and a couple clamps should do it. The overflow hose doesn't see much heavy action.
