Default Pre-heater hose question

Cold weather is around the corner and I am trying to get a 68 GP ready for it. I'm working on the pre-heating system and cannot find the hose that goes from the exhaust manifold shroud to the 90* elbow on the bottom of the air cleaner. Both those pieces measure 2.25 inches. I cannot find any pre-heater hose online that measures 2.25 inches. The biggest I can find is 2 inches.

Has anybody had any luck finding 2.25 inch hose that will stand up to the exhaust temps?

Inline Tube sells the tube, but they don't specify the inner diameter. Has anyone ordered this piece from Inline? Did it fit?

Not completely stock, but metal hose.

They also offer it in 36" lengths.

Good luck!

You can buy the alum type at your local Napa.

I get P/N 9797496. Which crosses to the Dorman 96024 or Gates 28095.

These are all 2" hose, and would fit inside the shrouds. I believe they are supposed to slip over the outside of the shrouds. Can someone post a pic of their setup?

Here's a pic of the hose in my '76 GP. It slips over the exhaust shroud but is 2" inside diameter. Hope it helps

Thanks for the photo. I'll have to see if I can find a 2" setup from another car.
