Hi Guys,
I am looking for a replacement hose for the rear window bower fan. It is an oddball size of 2 1/4" ID. None of the Jobbers hear have anything that will fit.
Any suggestions?

that 2 1/4 may be very hard to find.. here s a 2 1/2 in. that might work for you http://www.nostalgicairparts.com/air...ct-hose-57.php

Thanks for the help.
Unfortunately the hose was $2.29 and the shipping was ...........$83.22 !
They must think they have to use a dog sled to get to me here in BC.

I would try walking the aisles of you local building store; your equivalent of a Home Depot or Lowes.

The other option is to wrap either masking or duct tape around the ends of the ends until they reach 2-1/2" in diameter then use 2-1/2" hose....................

I appreciate your suggestions toobroketoretire!
Where you from Son?
Corporate America Box Stores invaded us a long time ago!
And, no I don't think ill be wrapping the duct work with tape, my days on the farm are long gone.
Thanks again!

I always try to make a proper fix but there are times when I just don't have any other option than to improvise. I suggest wrapping 3/4" masking tape around the ends until their diameter reaches 2-1/2".

Back in the 50's and 60's the flexible hoses were readily available but as injection molding improved there was no longer any need for connecting hoses.
