Does anyone know where I can find some RED Cloth Braided Vacuum/Breather Hose?? I can't find any anywhere....

I saw some on a mate's European 914 2 litre and not sure if from the factory but certainly makes a stock engine bay look a bit more pecial on my 1.7...

agree.gif ...that kit is a good quick-n-easy way to go. IIRC some were green-ish too.

Some will also bleach & dye the fabric themselves too.

I got an AA kit just last week, had a couple of greens, but no red. Rest were grey/black.

That is not true. Mine has red ones. Here is picture of my spare kit I just took on my deck. Got this spare kit in December. This vacuum kit is for a 1.7.

Maybe the 2.0 kit is different then, no red or green in the kit I received.

I measured my red ones from Auto Atlanta and it looks like it is 8mm ID. It fits the MPS.

I just received a 2.0 vacuum kit from AA and they didn't include the red ones either. I just took the original red ones off my 73, and they were toast.
