I have NO idea what this hose is used for normally cause I found it by just looking through all the hoses they had. but this one hose is all you need for both upper and lower hoses on your RB, all I had to do was make one well placed cut and they both fit perfect!

the part NO. at autozone is XL-443. (got mine for $17)

if anyone knows what this hose is normally for plz post as Id like to know

Where about was this 'well placed cut' located at?

Or just place my current / original hose on top and carefully trim?

I'll try and find out what this is off of too..

ya that pic is pretty close to where u cut. but keep in mind that the hose I used was not the z32 hose. I thought it might be but they have different part #'s. So I guess there are 2 hoses that work well for the RB.

NAPA sells a nice spring loaded bottom hose, Perfect Fit, There is No bends in the House its just straight, But it will bend and curve anyway you want it. Its like 12$, I can't rememver the part #. My local store I usually just walk to the back and get what I want. I found this hose and was like HELL ya!! Ill try to get a part # for you.
