Air line leak / repair ?

[Bob H]

Have an air leak under the dash, thought it was the line to the gauge , and it just needed tightening. Well it isn't the connection, it is a cut in the hose, which had a piece of aluminum wrapped around it, this piece of aluminum was manufactured and not a rig job. Is that a typical repair? or just a protective band that is supposed to keep a rubber hose from getting cut, and somebody at the motor pool used it as a 'non-regulation repair.

I would just assume replace the rubber air line, I misplaced my cd manual, so I can't look up the part#, Where can I get one?

Some tape is not a professional repair. As said, go to your Diesel shop or hydraulics shop and get a new one made. Do not rely on 40 year old stock parts, if you can get a new one for relatively small money!

Yes, I know I can have one made up, and I have the tools and knowledge to make my own.

But I am a sucker for OEM parts, and would like to use the correct replacement if I can find it,

I thought this band over the cut was odd at best, maybe it was just an ID tag that was slipped over the leak .
