Rear Drain Hoses

[AlanT PHX AZ]

Hey boys and girls.
Just brought home a needy 68 tudor.
Its my 3rd bird....have had two 70 beekys in my time and always wanted a 67/69 so now i got one. One of the items on my short list are those pesky rear vent drain tubes (NOT ONE OF FORDS BETTER IDEAS)!!!!
About 7 years ago I managed to get a set from a Ford warehouse cause the parts mgr in the city I lived in was from that era and knew how to locate them. Living 2k miles away I feel funny calling to see if he's still there. Anyway if anyone knows a source...I would be greatly apreciative.

I ask this question so many times....
Have you checked with your Ford dealer - parts department?

Thanks

Actually I'm kinda intimidated by the local parts guy as he is a fast talker being the young pup that hes is!!!! and I have to be slightly forcefull with him to get exactly what I need....I guess it wont hurt to call and ask on monday!!!!
I should record his response when I ask for a part for a 34 year old car :)

Have seen aftermarket tubes for sale on ebay for around $50 for the pair.... or you can carefully remove the cracked, original ones, glue in lenghths of bicycle inner-tube, and then glue the cracked originals back over top the innertube lengths... works fine and still looks original.
