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.

WOW @wonkipop you got way further than I did! Thanks for the great research. It does seem like the documentation got a little lax toward the later years, maybe they knew it was ending or the crew was working on other projects and did not care to backtrack the last few years. I have been befuddled by the PET many times.
We are spoiled I guess. So many parts are available in the aftermarket it surprises and annoys me when something is not.
I'll keep going.

believe me i don't want to have to do this research most of the time.

but........if you own a 74 1.8 what you realise is it was chaos in the second half of 73 as they were trying to bring the 1.8 to the showroom.

the EPA was down VW's throat over an emission scandal and they were really struggling to get the L jet system out of the end of the production line.

this chaos is reflected in the PET catalogue and even in parts of the factory workshop manual.

anyway, all my research didn't do me any good. still couldn't source a fricken heater hose. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)
