[simpits-tech] What really hacks me off....

[Joseph Fagner]

I've seen those hoses on eBay go for 15-20 bucks.  I got mine at
flighthelmet.com and overpaid for it as I kept looking on eBay and never
found one, bought this one then 37 of them showed up after I got mine.
I've got an extra 4 foot hose but it doesn't have the friction fitting
that hooks into the CRU-60.

That's pretty cool Jay.  I still have to get the hose section that goes
from the oxy panel to the CRU/60(?) fitting as well as a CRU/60 fitting
itself.  Rob has a nice helmet he's done a great job of restoring and he
even has a new mask for it.
