1970 914-6, all original

All Teeners

Yea I get it, we teeners are special - very special. And, considering this little fact so are the prices of the most benign little part.

The webbing for the oil tank hoses on my 914-6 are a bit frayed and I went to source some and - YOW!!

If anyone has a reasonable source or is hording hose, let me know, spending 600+ on oil hoses......well, just seems a bit TOO SPECIAL. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Read the quotes at the various sites carefully, they lull you in with 58.00 and then when you get ready to order the price is PER FOOT! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

Little bit of confusion here. Those are 'breather lines', not 'oil lines'.
There is little/no pressure in them. Not really sure why they are cloth braided on the outside, doesn't need the strength. Pretty much any kind of oil resistant hose will work, although I understand the desire for originality. Keep looking, yea $50+ per foot is ludicrous unless you are going for concours. Your old ones don't look that bad

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) we get those lines for something like $5 a foot from SSF. They are cloth braided but not under pressure.
