Seeking replacement hose(s) for CCV

[EdJarHead]

Anyone know of a source for the "J" shaped hose on this CCV harness?  Hate to buy the whole thing when only that hose is bad, plus I have a 2nd hose of that same size & shape (off the back of the air box) that needs replacement as well.

Thanks for this. I think I should buy the entire rear harness for the CCV hose as these are all old/original parts, but I also have a second hose (same J shape and size) that runs from the air intake to the tube that runs all the way around the firewall to the canister.  Just need to find that 2nd "J-shaped" hose.

Last Dorman harness the 'J' hose to the airbox simply would not fit,  the original Mopar 'J' hose had a molded 'swell' at its end which increased the ID of the hose and would fit the air box.

I tried to heat the 'J' hose but it split...

any solutions?

Had considered a bulkhead fitting and creating a new entry and plugging the original nipple, but have not attempted to source one

I'd like to find source for hose only also

^^^  any input?

Someone needs to take a sample of the hose needed to a Napa store and ask to go in the back room and find a comparable one.

I cut a piece of the hard tube from the old harness and it fit into the airbox opening and tube nicely.  About 1-1/2 inches of the old tube is all that's needed.  Also contacted Dorman, and they do not have a part number for only that J hose (though it wouldn't fit on one end anyway).  I've been to several parts stores to see what they had on the shelf, but haven't tried NAPA yet.

ok on hard tube from old harness, but did you create a new hole or what?

 

thanks.

Any other input on this ... either J hose   or fitment stated above about a small section of old harness to fit up the smaller dorman hose?

 

Maybe a bulkhead connector sized for the dorman j hose  relocated to a new hole ??

i attempted to insert the used hard hose into the nipple on the air box,  it will not insert....   what did you do to make it work?

best i can tell the OD of the hard hose on the harness is 'about' 9/16"  (probably metric),  but the OD of the fitting on the air box is 5/8"

 

went in a rabbit hole searching for bulkhead fittings....  not so fun

 

seems dorman or someone would mold up a hose like the original with larger end at the end of the J to FIT the airbox....

it is not like there are NO vehicles out there in need of these components..  they made a snit ton of harnesses,  why not make em 'right'??

i posted in the DYI section on an OLD post,  a member suggested I link to it here for any 'new' input and responses, as the images in that old post are dead.

The older post by @EdJarHead indicated take a short section of the hard tube on the rear harness and fit it to the air box to use these 'new' dorman J tubes....

 

"finally" today I messed with this  (sorry,  no pics)

 

there's not a lot of space between the fitting on the rear of the air box and master cylinder.

this is why i could not start the longer section of hard line in the nipple on the air box.

I cut about a 3" section of the hard tube on old harness and trimmed shorter until i could guide it in the fitting on the air box.

it IS a snug fit,  once started I used leverage to push it in the fitting....   so EdJarHead's 1 1/2" cut is pretty close !!

 

BTW, the OD of the airbox fitting will accept a piece of 19/32" emissions hose...  but this straight hose will not make the 'bend' in the tight confines tween airbox and master cylinder... thus the reason for the molded smaller OD J hose with the flared end to air box...

 

I seated the 'insert' with about an inch of hard line from the end of the airbox fitting.

first tried the new J hose,  but very tight on clearance to the master cylinder...

I cut about 3/4" from the short end of the J hose, used a touch of lubricant and slide it on the exposed "new" fitting,

then connected the other end of the J hose to the harness.  (next time I think i will try to leave the J hose full length on the short end)

I did NOT want to modify the airbox fitting, but I'd guess one 'could' cut it shorter to gain some clearance.

 

I do not believe the 'insert' will come out of the airbox,  and now these Dorman rear harnesses can be used when that J hose deteriorates.

 

on a side note, I did get some of the supplies mentioned to replace the elbow and use 19/32 OD emissions hose, but there is just no way to get a decent bend in the area needed... 

 

Here's a tip for someone with connections in the aftermarket...   manufacture JUST the J hose!  and make it slip over the hard line on rear harness and have the

short end of the J hose swelled to fit over the original air box...  I'd think folks would swipe them up...  One could just replace the J hose and not the entire rear harness, as the rest of that harness does not deteriorate.

 

thanks for your attention, hope his helps someone else.
