The hose you are after is available from "Enzed" .

I recently purchased a short length for the same purpose - not cheap but it is the correct stuff for fuels.

repairs to original radio

The original diamond dot radio in my EK needs repair. :(

It will turn on only for a few minutes before cutting out.

Does anyone know of a good repairer who can maybe also add FM pickup?

thanks. :D
