The hoses are available ready-cut from parts dealers. However, you can cut them to size yourself from a hose. The length depends on the chassis number; longer hoses were introduced at the beginning of the 1969 model year. It is not a mistake to choose slightly longer hoses, then they will sit even better on the nozzles.
