This article was relevant enough to be printed & then even reprinted in the NCRS Restorer. Volume 6-4 in 1980 and Volume 16-3 in 1990.

In 1980 Ed Gurdjian, MD authored an article in the NCRS Restorer Magazine. Ed, a brain surgeon saved the life of a GM executive, who later assisted Ed with his hobbyist Corvette research. Ed's particular interest was 1958-1962 and he documented how those windshield washer hoses "generally appeared" with Red and Orange colored stripes.

After Ed's article I did further research to determine the exact nature of the OD and colors. The ID was already known. And I was the FIRST (and I think, still the only vendor) to reproduce these colored hoses. Zip never made them & they are simply lying if they say they did.

We sold them to Zip & then stopped all sales to those lying dirtballs. Now, their surrogate employee Justin Abbott is using the CorvetteForum to lie about the nature of these hoses. He says they were not correct. Just Look at real cars & GM blueprints. They don't lie.

Facts don't lie, but Zip employee's do lie. If you read the CF thread, you will see this fellow Jabbot lieing through his teeth about these hoses, rather than admit we cut them off from buying them.

I'm confident he is just parrotting "squak-squak" whatever David Walker tells him to say. In 1982 this fellow Jabbott was so young, he could not even hold a job yet, let alone drive a Corvette or do research on one.
