    Memphis had a run of the hoses manufactured a while back...if they are out, I bet they will have more done up...

    Not to hijack this thread, but Memphis has moved the day-to-day operations from the PA location in Chambersburg to Memphis, TN. At least that is what they say when you call the branch in PA where I used to get most of my stuff from.

    Since they've done that, their prices seem to have doubled and availability of a lot of parts seems to be less too. Not sure if anyone else has noticed this or knows what's going on.

    Memphis has them. I got one about 2 weeks ago. I can't remember the exact price. Seems like it was just under a hundred ,after shipping a little over. It may be a reproduction but it is well made. wish I could find the hose protecting grommet!

    Last year I paid $79 for my fuel filler elbow. It fit well and was nicely made.

    I used a piece of fuel hose split and slid over the sheetmetal opening in place of the rotten grommet. It looks like the grommet and does the same job.
