I purchased the heater hose from these guys.

It is rated as not suitable for carrying fuel or oil, but I am sure petroleum vapor will take years to cause a failure. It will last longer than any URO hose you may purchase.

I went ahead and went with your idea. The performance place down the road had all the hoses. Silicone high temp. It turned out to be the tubes that wouldn't fit. They werent long enough and were getting in the way of the intake manifold. Its all done now. Thank god!

Did you check if you have the right cannister? I'm not positive, but I think the N/A and Turbo are different sizes. That bracket you speak of....I didn't even put it back into my 1994 850 n/a and I've been running fine for over 80,000 miles. I personally think the bracket is overkill and the bolts to the manifold are enough to keep the intake steady. Good luck.

The bracket just holds a wire loom in place.
