Guys help!
I can't find a rubber exhaust bellows for my Chrysler 360 V in 1981 F32. It is rubber, 9.5 inch long, double hump, 3 inch interior diameter.It connects the port side engine elbow to the "T" pipe out the boat.
It is the original part that finally blow. I can't find it any where. Is there a suitable sustitute?

I still have the black bellows that I took out. There is nothing obviously wrong with them, in case you are interested. I just wanted new.

5" ID and free length of 8.5"

Purosil makes a 3" ID that looks like it could be 9.5" long. I had to cut-down the ones that I bought.

Thanks all for your responses. What a merry go round this has been trying to find the exhaust bellows for my f32 Chryslers. No body has this part. Purosil doesn't sell retail so they referred to several of their dealers. None stock the part nor does Purosil even though they show a part like it in silicone on their website. They take 3 weeks to manufacture the part if a dealer ordered it. I finally stumbled onto the original bellows on ebay and bought them.
This should serve as a heads up to all F32 owners with Chryslers. This part is not available....a work around will have to be found unless you get lucky as I did and find a good used bellows.
