Is it possible the picture on the bottom has the right metal tube fitting in place and despite the different part numbers, they really are the same? Looks like that picture may be perfectly looking down the barrel of the metal fitting...

No. This is not an optical illusion. I can confirm there are two different elbows. They differ in the diameter of that port. The large port version is from '75 & '76. The small port version is '74. I used a large-port version on my '74, but had to get a fitting manufactured to step down the diameter so that my vent line would fit.

Shipping to Germany is not a problem.
I can make both versions. Not too much difference. Good to know applications. Just need a few more to make this viable.

Thanks. The metal tube fitting near the TOP side on mine is 22mm, same size as the oil filler breather.

I placed a WTB elbow hose for my 75 1.8. A member sent me one, and it's the one on the right. My old elbow is on the left.

The part number with the T suffix, is for a 74 which he sent me. Without the T is for a 75.

As you can see the "Y" fitting has to fit in the large hole. The "T" hose hole isn't big enough.

No, there is no fitting in place, it is just the bare elbow.

It's the 1.8 elbow that has multiple fittings If there is enough interest I'll make these.
Who needs one?

Still excited about receiving my new dash. Might as well double the excitement. I'm good for one. I think it's great that you are reproducing much needed parts. A big Thank You! for all you do.

Someone in another thread mentioned there is a difference between the part for MY74 and MY75?

If so, you'd want to make sure it fits both year models.


74 and 75 are different. One of the plug in pipes is a different size. The mold should be msde for the larger size and a reducer insert used for the snaller size.

Sounds good, count me in too. Mine looks okay but the metal fitting does twist pretty easy. I have a 1974 1.8 with the 22 mm fitting at the top, BTW is that 22mm hose available? Anywhere??

I was just trying to find this. Not even listed in the Porsche PET catalog.

Mine is OEM cloth covered and it is really hard as a rock. I have seen lots of make shift replacements, but noting nice as the stock formed hose so far.

For Betty's car.......

Could the VW bus guys use them over on theSamba ? That might be another market for the hoses.

I think there's a difference to the bus intake boots.
But there may be a similar demand.

Only 38 posts means less than 50 takers (unless we all buy two)...
