Thank you 63r2 for the information and the reminder. I should have remembered to look at my parts catalog to see the diagram. I still would not have known the background that you provided. I saw the inlets you described but never questioned what they were for. Now I know. What did you replace your hoses with? OEM (if available) or aftermarket? The first foot or so of the hoses from the top on each side seems OK, so I thought I might try to get a larger hose to slide over it and run it to the shifter area. I left about a 1/2" of the old hoses at the shifter so I can slip the new hoses on. The hoses are 1-1/2". Hopefully this will save some work and achieve what Studebaker tried to do.

Hi Michael and Peter - About a week after your responses, I finally dealt with the task. It was a slog, but I got it done. I ended up replacing the entire right side. I purchased a pool hose (1-1/2") and a spa hose (1" I.D.}. The spa hose was the only thing that would squeeze between the consul and the control levers. On the left side, the hose was ok until after the bend at the trans hump. I inserted the spa hose the rest of the way. I've reduced the air flow from the original, but it's better than what I had. If I was doing what you are doing Michael, I'd redo it all. Good luck with the install. - George

I'm glad it worked out George, on to the next thing.
