The 5/8 ID pvc hose is available at Napa or Car Quest. I got my 3 inch copper 5/8 OD nipple from a scrap pile at my friend's home construction site. You can buy it at plumbing supply stores. The PVC hose is pretty stiff which makes routing it a little more problematic. I used heater hose for the first installation because it's a K-Jet and there are a ton of hoses and lines under the manifold. I wanted all the flexibility I could get to figure it out, and I knew I'll be in there again soon to replace the wiring harness. Now that I've found a great way to route it to the front of the manifold without any sharp bends, I'll replacing it with the better PVC hose as soon as I find a good used wiring harness and do that job. Good luck. Be sure to test the breather box to make sure it's breathing. When you get the new hose, shove one end over the breather box nipple, and with the engine off, and preferably cool or cold, and the oil filler cap off, blow through the hose with your mouth. It should be easy to blow through the box. Your breath will come out the oil filler hole in the valve cover. The easier you can blow through, the easier your engine will vent crankcase pressure. If it's clogged, you should consider replacing it because the new flame trap lines won't do any good if the box is clogged. Let it breathe.
