1956 Cessna 180 Tail Spring Bushing or Rubber Hose?
Does anyone know the size of the rubber hose or bushing that some use to replace the Tail Spring bushing on the end of the tail spring?
First time posting to a forum so forgive me if I posted it in the wrong area.

I had trouble buying the hose that Cessna specifies in the parts manual. I searched the industrial hose supply shops for a while. Eventually settled on some hose manufactured by Continental. It’s blue and has a single synthetic braid reinforcement like the original. Very satisfactory fit.

The IPC shows standard fuel/oil hose, 3/4 ID x 1.75 long.

Useful information. Thanks. I browsed the Spruce catalogue and failed to identify that.
