Can anyone ID these hoses with U-bends in them? This one (fist photo) attaches to the rear of the airbox and the plastic tube it's other end attaches to originates on top of the valve cover (second photo):
This one (first photo) attaches where the TB air intake comes off the airbox and the plastic tube it's other end attaches to seems to originate at this canister (second photo):
They are deteriorated and need replacing, but with that U-bend I'm sure they are a formed hose. Part #s?
I always have used ones around, but if your local parts store will allow you to get something close in a breather hose, that would be great. Has to be for fuel/gasses/evap application.
My local Autozone had nothing 1/2 ID in a fuel resistant hose, so I hit ACE Hardware and bought a foot of PVC tubing and a 90 deg elbow. Cost under $4:
Trimmed a few barbs off each end of the elbow, cut the tubing into two oversized pieces:
Heated up the ends of the tubing in hot water, as it's a tight fit, assembled:
Trimmed the tubing back to about the correct length:
Installed. The airbox bung was a very tight fit, so the hot water to heat the tubing was necessary here:
I believe the PVC is fuel resistant enough to last a long time. I'll see how it holds up and replace the other breather hose at a later date.

Ask to go the back of the store and look through all the pre-molded hoses, you'll find something.
Too late, I already found something, methinks

The vehicle is registered in Massachusetts, and they seem to be very permissive when it comes to vehicle registration, inspections and emmissions testing. I'd like to continue simplifying the under-hood componentry. The more you take away, the less the potential for failure.

Don't let me forget this. As time goes on, my job will slow down and I'll go visit my buddy at Napa. He used to be my Parts Manager at the Jeep dealer. He and I will scrounge through his selection of stuff.

NAPA comes through! Gates FI hose, 1/2" I.D.
Part #H-177 $1.69 per foot.
He gave me quite a bit extra, so I'll send you enough for two hoses, if you want, as a thank you.
I got busted at smog test for simular fix, home made crank case vent hose, as stock hoses are made of unobtanium, and rotted away. my fix was hose and copper fitting for the bends. Same diameter and length as stock, and my repair will never rot away and leak like that stock flimsy bellows hose did. It was perfectly functional, better than stock quality, had passed five prior smog tests in ten years with it. But no, one guy failed me during an every two year smog **** probe., put it in the state computer that I didnt have "approved smog equipment". I had to find a stock hose for big money to make them happy, and pay for a retest. The vehicle in question passed the tail pile sniff test with flying colors by the way the first time with the repaired hose, but I had to pay to have them probe the tail pipe a second time after I got the correct "authorized smog equipment hose" installed. What a frickin racket. It was about $150 of hassle for the hose, plus the retest, and it made zero difference in the actual smog produced, ZERO! I hate those smog tests
