Josh, tell your brother thanks for me. i mean it.

i'm going to second the 3/4". maybe 5/8" but i have 3/4 hose on and it fit easier than the 5/8'' i removed.

I think one hose is 5/8 and the other is 3/4.

The heater fittings are all 5/8" (AN10) on my '69. Next week the new hose goes into the machine and gets SS braiding.
