Does anyone know the size of the windshield wiper hose (attached to the wiper) on a 82?.  Mine is shot on both sides and needs to be replaced.  Went to a couple local auto parts stores and everything they have is too big.  Any ideas where to locate.
 
Thanks

I need the hose that is  on the wiper arm assembly.  The kit you mentioned looks like it stops at the arms.

It's a really really small size...
I have a roll of vacuum hose here at the shop that works quite well for stuff like that. I'll have to run out there and see what the actual size is...we have several different sizes. IF you cannot locate what you need, P/M me, and I'll send ya a couple feet(or however much is needed) of what I have.

Adam,
Do you know what size it is and then I might be able to find it somewhere.  I was thinking it was a 5/32" OD but I do not have a piece in front of me.

I'll get a hose off my '74 and see what it is, and post the size in the morning. Nap time now....Sleepy

Wow...that was a looong nap!
Sorry for the delay...been really busy.
I did check the hose I have at the shop:
I have a roll of 3/32"(I/D) hose that I think is the correct size for the squirter hose, but not 100% sure.
I have a roll of 1/8"(I/D) hose that is really close, but the O/D is a bit larger.
 I have aboot 3' of 9/64"(I/D) hose....since I only have 3', that's prolly the right size. My car is already covered up, but I can try to check the size tomorrow(again), but I'm pretty sure just about ANY GM car will have the same size hose.
