Engine Compartment Blower Hose, L&R Where to Buy Options

[NARP74]

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.

The initial OE hose is NLA and most of the old ones are cracked. As 914Werke shared we inserted a paper hose and put the OE back on.

While restoring our 73 and 75, we ended up buying every likely related hose from Porsche, 914Rubber, AA, Pelican, Stoddard, and ECS. The only two OE “air” hoses that we could not purchase were the engine bay hose (being discussed) and the longer passenger dash vent to frunk paper hose (short versions below).

For our 73 2.0 build, a VERY kind member ( @aturboman ) had saved an NOS engine bay hose for many years and then gifted it to the car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif). Every time an enthusiast sees the car I share the story.

In that spirit, @NARP74 please send a PM and we’ll see if there is something in our box of hoses that you can use.
