That looks a lot like the hose on a ford dpfe sensor to me.

You are 100% right. But where can I buy it in bulk?

Looks like the small hose is 3.5mm. Which is slightly smaller, but might still work.

Maybe check out a hydraulic supplier. It kind of matches the specs of some Parker tubing that is medium pressure series 156h, in a firesleeve. I could be way off but it may be helpful to look at Parker.

You've checked mcmaster? It looks very similar to the small coolant hose I used to buy there for the turbo before I went to hard lines. That was 3/8, but maybe they make it in a smaller ID as well.

Both Parker and McMaster only go down to .25" from what I've seen.

It listed ID as 3.97mm and OD as 9.6mm ish. But I could have read it wrong.

Interesting. The 156h hose has a steel braid from what I can tell though. This is either fiberglass or fabric.

Alright. Another hive mind question.

This is the speedo cable hole, and I need a grommet for it. Anybody know where to get a square grommet?

Also got my final water line built/installed. All the wiring is done. I'll be pulling the spare motor out this week. Its now just a waiting game for the machine shop

Interesting. I might give that a shot. ABS should be able to take the heat.

Why would the dealer have them? Was there ever an NA offered without a speedo cable?
