Title: 66 NJ Fuel Filler hose
Post by: rrenz on April 23, 2017, 05:47:08 PM

Looking for the correct Rubber fuel filler hose for a Jan 66 Metuchen Coupe. I have seen allot of variations and I'm trying to narrow down the correct part. Smooth,Cloth Wrapped, White stripe, Red Stripe..I currently have a smooth hose however I'm doubtful that it is original.

Looks to be the typical smooth with the row/alligator pattern like the original radiator hoses. Don't see any stripes but the white can be pretty dull or the hose just not rotated the right direction for the pictures

Here are a couple of pics from my April built NJ car. To my knowledge it is the original hose from the factory.

Jeff,
The second picture you posted shows what we refer to as the cloth covered hose. 
Regards,

Didnt' pick up on that since the resolution is so poor and it didn't have much of the cloth texture in the outer surface and the ones I have or have seen but the inner weaving appears to be different from the alligator style

Possibly replaced

Thanks for all the pictures. Turns out the rubber portion of the filler neck wasn't original on my car. Wanted to clean it up a little after some point loss at a show last year. I had seen that stripe on other NJ cars of the time period so I went with that for a little more detail.
