...a supplier for a new set of vacuum hoses for my 1973 1.7L. Was installing new plugs yesterday and found several of the original hoses had disintegrated into hard rubber slivers. I would really like to get replacements that are color correct red and gray, but no luck on 914rubber, Pelican, and Sierra Madre. Can y'all offer any other sources?

Is there any reason that cloth wrapped vacuum lines are needed rather than thick walled replacement hose?

QUOTE(Jamie @ Mar 27 2017, 10:38 AM)  Is there any reason that cloth wrapped vacuum lines are needed rather than thick walled replacement hose? Not really, some just want it to look factory correct, also the braided hose doesn't need clamps because it is metric. You can still get the black hose, just not the red and green. You do want to be sure it's a hose type that can handle gas and oil fumes, etc. The cheap cloth hose from VW shops doesn't last more than a few years, it starts to crack at the cut ends. Even if they say it's German hose. |
