I borrowed this pic from @skota23 in another topic. Does anyone know where to buy the hoses like this? I have seen and tried others but they have issues and I wanted to try these.

Maybe it is NLA, but the hose I saw there looked just like the 914rubber hose. Maybe I am not using the search term for the desired results.

Maybe it is NLA, but the hose I saw there looked just like the 914rubber hose. Maybe I am not using the search term for the desired results. http://www.autoatlanta.com/Porsche-Long-Ri...461261235A.html i just had a look. you are correct @NARP74 . it looks like AA has same type of long hose as 914 rubber. i looked at listed part for original short hose for a 74/75. pictured ducting looks to be exactly like Escherbacher hose i posted above that i got hold of here. neither have the smooth flat section at ends for clamps. although it does say on the long hose one that AA has, they also offer factory originals. i guess these must be good condition second hand parts. probably at a premium price as its a very difficult to get item now. if all else fails - and presuming you can find one in a junkyard, you could get hold of an old poor condition 914 heater hose. assuming the end sections are still good. and do my trick of threading them into a sleeve fit with escherbacher duct. so long as you have enough original section, long enough to get a good sleeve fit it could work very well and look almost factory. take a sharp eye to spot the difference. the original heater hose almost has to be screw turned into the e. duct hose so its very secure as a sleeve fit. EDIT i think i can see why 914 rubber and AA would have that different type of non original looking hose. don't know for sure because i have not seen it in flesh but it looks like its very compressible. = small package for postage/freight. the e. hose duct i got hold of is semi rigid. does not compress to any real degree. package would be very long to freight it. $ could be reason. i sourced my e duct locally in the city i live in down here. freight was of no consequence. i just went to the store and got hold of some. might have had a reasonably hefty freight charge otherwise. would need to be protected by packing to prevent it being crushed. |
