Gary's 2 442-S

Can anyone tell me if there is a tubing that I can use that I can replace my tube for the battery cable located near the starter? My tube is broken and I am not sure how to repair it. Whatever I use needs to be heat resistant since it is near by the exhaust. I see a couple of them on ebay,but I would prefer to either fix or replace before buying a new one.

What year and model and what transmission

Tube measurements? Outside diameter and length

Not sure if they are close to what you need, but I think 307's use what you are talking about. It bolts somewhere on the back of the engine and it looks like a cardboard tube, but is much harder. Should be pretty easy to find.

The tube is 5" long and the od is 3/4". My car is 72 442 with 400 trans. The tube is made out of a material that does appears to be hard version of card board.

The correct tube for that model is 5" long...but it's 1-1/2" OD.

Do you just need the tube or the whole assembly?...tube, clamp around tube, flat metal bracket that the clamp attaches to and mounts to the frame

Here's what it should look like:

I just need the tube,the rest of the clamp is good. Do you have any ideas on what other type of tubing I can use? The od is 1 1/2
