Hi, well for the clamps John at Midwest had them a while ago, ask him, he's bound to have the hoses as well. The little J shaped hose was been offered over on the G a couple of years ago when I think they were hard to come by, but I see a number of vendors in Europe now have them complete with the brass threaded insert for the head. So they must by now be easily available over there, again try John at Midwest.
I think the clamps were typical for the period and must have had tens of thousands of applications, I think this because over this side of the pond they must have been a fairly standard type of clamp as they are pretty easy to pick up from auto and even sometimes tool stalls at auto fairs; as are the clamps for the air cross-over.
Typically I only found this out after buying these 'rare correct type' in the US and getting them shipped!!
The top hose I just bought a length from my local truck spares shop and cut a length to fit.
The bottom hose is one part and does not have the metal bends/joiners, it's easily available. However..... if you use the MB metal joiners (I did get my M38 with metal joiners direct form the Mil and wondered why) then simply keeping a length of straight in the tool box allows you to sort either a top or bottom hose blowout with the same pipe (obviously you have to cut it) Least ways I think thats why the Greeks had a lot of their MAP ex US M38s fitted with the metal joiners, but I could be wrong.
Are you serieously looking for NOS which would be at least 50 years old by now and likely to perish very quickly once fitted or do you mean Original Equipment copy
Cheers,
Dave
I'm not happy with the bypass hose one of our vendors over here sent me. It is cracking already and has only been heated up a couple of times.
I speculate that it won't last very long.
So I am needing a good quality replacement. If they aren't made then I might have to plug it off or modify in a metal tube some how. That might be difficult to do. _________________ Tropical Veteran
