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.

i also remember i developed a view on this change to a single outlet fan from 73 onwards. because i used to think it was just porsche being cheap skates trying to cut the cost of the car down to the point where they were counting 5 cents worth of hose.
it was all part of the horror of vapor lock i think. they fiddled around slightly with the FOOL pump location in around 73. moved it very slightly under the car. and what i think they did was decide not to channel so much heated air through the hose connection into the long on the right hand side. its right near the FOOL pump revised location. it still wasn't enough. the horror of vapor lock continued. there was a dealer mod that jeff bowlsby has on his site involving a lash up duct to direct heated air out of the dump valve on the rhs heater flap box under the car. then in 75 they bit the bullet and moved the pump up front and it became a fuel pump again. only now they had the charcoal cannister next to the battery crowding the 1.8 relays and resistors etc because the EGR had to go somewhere and the good location they had it in for 74 was no longer good. so now the cannister got in the way of doing a dual outlet fan. got pretty crowded down there. so the single outlet fan stayed. along with the biased heating and defrost. which caused a brain fade moment in australia 30 years ago where a couple of guys cut a part made of unobtanium in half to satisfy a road safety certification "expert". i remember saying to the expert at the time, listen mate, i never drive this thing with the top on, when em i gunna need a demister.
