[Roadsters] OT: looking for high temperature hose source

[ed.sawyer at comcast.net]

When I was putting my engine back in a few years ago, I mistook the Cowl Drain hose as something more vital then it was and looked all over creation for a Silicone HI temp 3" hose that I could use. After some fruitless searching, a hydralic hose shop sent me to a Semi-truck parts place and I just went in and wondered the aisles with the parts guy for awhile and they found a High-temp silicone hose that would fit the bill. Of course, when I realized the hose I had could be necked off a little bit and still work fine...I'm not sure what happend to it after that. Short answer: Try a big rig parts place.

A friend has a 80's car that has a hose from the catalytic converter to 
the engine. I'm assuming it is some type of pre-heating method. 
Anyway, the hose has deteriorated and needs to be replaced. Local parts 
houses and the dealer say that it is NLA. I checked McMaster-Carr and 
didn't find anything. We only need a foot of it. I seem to recall that 
this type of hose was made of silicone, but am not sure. Any idea where 
to look? 

Thanks, 
Pat
