 One would think that coming up with some correctly sized hoses with stripes would be "no big deal". This was in fact a rather large undertaking... First off, when we contacted Dayco (The OEM supplier to Ford in the day) they would not even consider doing these obsolete hoses in the diameter and durometer we wanted unless we would commit to purchasing a linear foot amount that would span the continent. This is an exaggeration but if you saw the size and quantity of the rolls we had to purchase you would understand why we "almost" hung up the phone and said "oh well, we tried..." The next challenge was the paint. Getting the correct colors was no problem but we soon found out the originals used a lead based paint. The green and yellow were not a huge obstacle but finding white that would bond correctly took months. Who would have guessed this would be an obstacle?
