    WTB: Rubber Drain Tube for Blower Assembly

    I am looking for a rubber drain tube that fits at the bottom of the blower assembly. They are NLA according to all suppliers but am hoping someone maybe has a spare or a used one in good condition. Mine is cracked and about half is missing. It is item #19 in the attached figure. Thanks.

    no one makes this, I have asked a couple rubber manufacturers if they would make it and they just laughed and said there is no demand.

    Was unable to locate the part so I improvised. Went to the hardware store and purchased 6" of clear plastic tubing, 1" OD and 0.75" ID for $0.75. Put the end in hot water to soften it up for about 5 minutes, sprayed the two ends with silicone and was able to slide it into place (as Paul did). Put on the spring clip and cut it to length. The 1" OD fits perfectly into the drain hole. If I ever find the correct part I can always replace the plastic tubing but at least for now the fan housing can drain as it was designed to do. Thanks to all that responded.
