Default 1970 280SL - Gas Filler Hose

Anyone have an ideas where to find one of these? My Grandpas 280 has a very old and cracked hose and it leaks whenever we fill it with gas. The conventional places don't have them, even tried AutoHaus and RockAuto with no luck. Any direction is appreciated.

Thanks!

I guess a rubber radiator hose can cause static electricity too. good for an explosion. bad idea. I would have thought it would have been ok because of the anti-freeze, high pressure and heat. no so. learn something new everyday. thanks
