    I'm going to re-install my restored heater cans, and I need the wisdom of other members...

    Which supplier is the best and most authentic/correct?

    If you mean the orange silicone hose from the heater can to the heat exchanger we buy that from suppliers of small aircraft parts, called orange 'scat' hose. Like "Aircraft Spruce" if you don't have any local suppliers at local small airports.
