Keith I scored one for my C. Likely hard as finding hens teeth. I would consider a piece of 1 1/2" thin wall brass or steel tube. Mine has remnants of black paint, so the metal type is not important. The original does have a flat spot on the bottom but, better belts hit metal than your hose. Be sides, when you use my Corbin clamps, everyone will looking at those neat cad plated clamps.

Can anyone out there come up with the brass tube for me that goes in the middle of the upper radiator hose on an A/C car? This is the one meant to keep the hose from getting abraded or cut through by the fan belt. Not cheap, I'm sure, but I really need one. Please check the backs of your shelves for me. Thanks a pile.
