Re: Missing hose?

["Dave Swingle" <swingle@xxxx>]

Hose connection sounds normal. That's about what it looks like. There 
should be about 1/4" of plastic nipple there. You're about a day late 
on the photo - I just put the engine back in the car I was working 
on. Now I can't see that valve any more.

The line you are looking for is actually a hard black plastic line 
that enters the engine compartment from the side pontoon on the 
drivers side. It follows that steel tube that crosses the back of the 
engine compartment. There is about an inch of rubber hose on the end 
that connects to the control valve.

Last time I needed those copper washers in a hurry I got them at a 
Volvo dealer. John Hervey sells a really nice assortment very 
reasonably - essentially every copper ring on the car.

drop them when taking them off! Well, I dropped two but hey no problem 
right? I just called an auto parts store and they said sure we have them. Two 
hours and four stores later no one had them, .....
