So thanks to a customer doing a high end restoration we made the rubber hoses like factory used. Others are offering a clear hose that is well... just not period correct.

The hose kit consists of the tire to male end connector (hose shown).
The short hose to the cap
The tank hose to stalk
Stalk to T fitting hose
2 (one long one short) t fitting to squirter hoses

I have them bagged in sections to help make it easier.

One thing we did diferently was make the hose slightly thicker to give it more grip on the fittings. So you will not need to band them like factory did to get them to stay. They are a VERY tight fit and will require some soappy water to install on the fittings.

These are not cheap silicone hoses, and have the correct gloss level.

We did a limited run on these and onl have enough material for 30 sets on hand.

Who's in?

I did make the hoses slightly longer than you need so you can cut to fit or use the extra material.
One mistake I made was to not tie a string adound the old hose on the way out. So I could pull the new one back up.

I was super excited to receive mine tonight, I'm not sure which route USPS uses to get parts from OR to MI in nine days. USPS first class mail gets slower for sure NOT 914rubber's fault let me be clear.

Excited to open the padded mailer I received, I was confronted with a bag of black pre-cut hose, so where was the assembly I saw on the listing?? complete with cap and valve connections? here I own up to being dumb and hurried, ordered excitedly as it looked like it included the whole assembly.

Embarrassingly I'm the guy that sells washer hose on Samba to VW owners to fix their tired washers and I have 100ft rolls of the same hose......... Would anyone like mine. just let me know.........

914rubber can you indicate on your website that it is JUST for the rubber hose? Please.

Posted by: Mikey914 Jan 24 2018, 11:13 AM

I will try to make this more clear on the site. Yes, this is just the hose. I didn't list it as hose with fittings. I'm sorry is there is any confusion on this if you are not happy please send back and I'll refund your payment with shipping.

I do doubt it's the same hose, this is significantly thicker that any I have ever seen or was able to source. We did actually custom extrude it. It was not worth having it pop off in a inconvenient place.
