Generator coolant hoses

After a short trip to Aircraft Spruce I came back home and duplicated one of the Alternator lines 1ft of Aeroquip 303-3 at $5.85. It should last another 31 years

The main feed line to the alternator was marked Weather head Air brake line. I went back to Aircraft Spruce today and purchased 5 ft of 303-4 line to replace the old hard weeping line with for $34.45. Now it is just a matter of getting the time to put everything back together.

    Were you able to get the fittings off for (and of) the second oil line?  It sounds like you're getting this worked out well.

First hose was easy on one end. The second end required some "Creative removal" of old hose chunks.

The longer line from the engine to the rear bearing on the alternator was so loose I was able to remove one end by hand.
The second required two wrenches to crack it loose but the hose hadn't degraded to the point that it crumbled attempting to remove the outer sleeve on the hose.

All I have left to do is attach the ends to the new 303-4 hose and install them both.
