Who has a fresh NOS piece to compare color, and who else might know the difference? Ed is right, 90% of us won't know or care.

First time I faked these tubes using foam plumbing insulation rattle-canned with pumpkin Krylon. Looked pretty snazzy.

Jim, are you sure? SCAT 10 hose is wire-reinforced silicone duct like you'd use for race car brakes or cabin ventilation.

EDIT: Just found something that looks good and at $88 for 60 (oops!) INCHES a MUCH better price than Stoddard. https://www.mscdirect.com/browse/tnp...hoCPocQAvD_BwE
Russ, Thanks for questioning me. I just reread the post and the OP is not looking for the duct between the heater valves and the heat exchangers. I apologize for wasting bandwidth.
