Ouch! Wonder if oil prices have a lot to do with that. Seems like any
rubber product (even silly O rings) has gone up quite a bit recently. :/

Re: Well, that was fun.
Yup dealer carries these, and I was actually cheaper to buy the return hose
with connector ($30) there then to buy the hose and separate "universal"
connector from Canadian Tire(hose $29 connector $26). CT was about 1/4 of
the price for the supply hose though ( $35 @ CT and $88 dealer).
