Hi Cliff,
I just got (showed up in the mail yesterday) a new set of radiator hoses
from Saturn Surplus. Really great bunch of folks to deal with and
pretty reasonable prices.
For your tubes, if you're going to get the tires mounted by a shop, you
might see what the tire shop charges for a tube. I just had a new tube
and flap put in and my shop had it all in stock, and it only cost me 20
bucks for the tube and 5 for the new flap. It will add up when you buy
10 of them though, but it will save you on shipping charges too.
And you can pick up just about anything for the Deuce from Memphis
Equipment or somewhere like that.
Congrats on your deuce, and good luck!
