Defrost hoses……

My 51 M1 needs two 1 1/2” defrost hoses.
Has anyone found a dealer that sells this hose, or where to buy it?
Mine are spent and would like to replace them.

Should be 8C-18556-A 1.75 ID x 22" Long and 8C-18556-B 1.75 ID x 36" Long, not 1.5 hose as you indicated.

Supposedly this is a kit with both (Contact vendor to be sure): https://classicautoparts.com/heater-defrost-hose-kit

You can also order by the foot: https://www.dennis-carpenter.com/car...defroster-hose

Or take this 6' length and cut it to size:

The hose is 1 3/4 ID . Have a length of OEM style ( black canvas w/ wire helix ) here in S. Fla. if you are interested . It is the same style hose used in the heater system restorations . Thanks, Denny

That is outstanding. The repop houses sell plastic tubing with wire.

All three options I posted appear to be fabric, not plastic.

That's an upgrade. When I bought some for my 54 back in 1999, they were plastic.
