Jack's Comments:
Exact reproduction of three ribbed hoses used in the windshield washer system. They are all made right here in America to our specifications with EPDM rubber that doesn't crack or turn white like the imported hoses do. Sorry, the plastic washer hose T is not included.
Back story about this hose set:
I started collecting dozens of verified original production 1965-66 hoses over the last five years for a customer's restoration. I was lucky to find one out of all the ones I collected that looked good enough to put on my car. When I had some friends asking me for good originals for their cars, I started to think I should reproduce this hose, so I started to do some research. I found the amount of ribs on the outer wall varied greatly as did how pronounced the ribs were. After examining all the hoses in my collection and other verified originals I had the most common rib configuration reproduced in small quantities. There is a consensus among top restorers that the ribs designate the vendor and or date of manufacture. We cannot verify this but it sounds probable.
