I can't seem to locate any source for the water drain hoses (those in the engine bay on the left and right side - that attach to the funnels that collect water from the big water drip pan).
Assume they are NLA. Any aftermarket stuff or is it just old used stock? I guess I can do my own hose connections - local hardware store route, I just thought if they were around, it may be nice to add. One side is fine (pass), the driver side is busted up. Any sources for decent replacements? Thanks, Len |

Bug haus carries the originals for the ghia. They are too short for the 914, but they are being made. I've talked to Eric about contacting the manufacture to make some for us but no luck yet. They don't think they could sell enough to make it worth their trouble. That doesn't make sense to me. Didn't they make more 914s than ghias?

Of course not all years of the ghia used this type of airbox drain hose. OK you guys made me look on this one...and...there were more ghias. Wasn't sure which way it would go myself since they were known for being "hand made" for a while. If you just count the type 1's there were 438,477 Ghias recorded as being produced. Peak production was over 100 of those little guys a day assuming there was a 2 week break and weekends off. Ghia Production #'s |
