I noticed my rear heater hoses are attached to the underside via some straps. About four or five and they are ALL rusted through. I fear the hoses could fall at some point. But I can not find these straps in the parts diagrams, I think they are included with new hoses only. But I don't need to replace the hoses. Any input on this? The other option is to just make some up out of strap material, that pre-made galvanized stuff with holes.

 

It looks like JUP500050. There are two different brackets on rear heater hoses, but this one is for the long bottom run, Others are JUP500060.

 

Thats correct there are 4 total JUP500050 and 6 total JUP500060 altogether.

 

So this fell under one of those projects that I never got too. Just wondering if the same ones are used for the AC lines on the driver side? I should replace those also, but alas I can not find a parts diagram again.

 

I'd just make some out of gal steel strap, a hole and a small bend at the end which can be done in a vice or over a log with a hammer. Could even use thinner material and make them a full loop.
