914World.com _ 914World Garage _ VACUUM HOSE LENGTHS

Posted by: lagunero Mar 12 2004, 04:23 PM

Does anyone have the measurements for the hoses on a 1.7 ('73).

I found the diagram that shows the ID's but if that same chart had the length it would just swell.

Just trying to maximize my garage time. Thanks

This question comes up so often...and there's never an answer.

Just get a tape measure. It will take you 3 minutes to measure all your hoses. You usually have to buy hose by the foot anyway so you'll be buying a little extra.

Well you're right about the "never an answer" to this one. I'll measure them and post the results.

Stay tuned for the conclusion of this episode of "Unsolved Mysteries".

Our own Dave Darling already did the work for you. Try this for a 73 2.0.

I got a rough estimate of how much hose I needed. Then I pulled one piece off the motor at a time, and use it as a templet to cut the new hose from. Job went pretty fast. Only have lenghts for a 75 2.0 which are a bit different than what you need. Hope that's helpfull.
