Anybody know where to get the little elbow hoses that go to the injectors? Checked PP and GPR but no listing.

You can get proper (not OE but designed for FI/high pressure, dont' cut) at FLAPS.

You know what, I tried at my FLAPS and they looked at me like I was crazy asking for something different than the standard hose clamps. The line I got was "these will work just fine".

Luckily between the 2 motors I have I came up with enough to do one complete.

I got a box of 10 for around $2.50 from NAPA.

High Performance House has the elbow gas hose, I just got four from them a while ago. They also stock the German hose clamps new. They look different than stock 914, they are gold color, and have no VW logo on them, I think they are the ones used ont he current Porsches. I elected to purchase some original 914 used clamps. Sorted thru them, cleaned them up, and all was well. HPH sold me the used ones.

The problem with standard clamps, that are serrated for the worm gear is that the serrations can tear the rubber.

For the regular high pressure line, 5/16 inch American hose works fine, so close to the 8 mm stock stuff you can't tell the difference in fit.

and the octane booster on aisle 5 will give you 15 more HP and make your "fiat" run like a NASCAR! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/bs.gif)
