Cab11/12 Chev inner fender panel measurements?

[Alex van de Wetering]

Ah, that explains the remains of the thin wire wrapped around the old funnel! I have to see what's available here; I think most European cars at the time used cardboard duct, and obviously in metric size. I will need some 2,5inch hose.
Grant, that's a good idea! I have to check if I can fnd a similar firm here in Holland.

Attached are two pictures of the C8 right hand side inner fender panel. It shows the rivets that used to hold the canvas.

Alex, would this be an option? Available in sizes ranging from 60-500 mm.

They have hoses in other materials as well, search for "afzuigslang".

HTH,

Thanks Hanno.
I was looking at getting some here.

It seems to be quite similar to the link Grant posted....hose used in aircraft and also for race cars. They also sell through a webshop and also just 1 meter in stead of 4.
I just can't make up my mind whether to choose black or the orange/brown stuff! The remains I found in my Chev are somewhat orange...but I am not sure if that's rust or the original colour of the hose. Black probably looks better though....
