NAPA has it, found it there last year, fit perfect. If I recall it's called "defroster hose" I’m gonna need a link @930cabman before I believe a word of what you claim lol… You expect me to believe NAPA had ANYTHING in stock that fits a non-chevy?! Dug through a pile of 2022 receipts and found NAPA P/N NOE 813-1509. All for less than 6 bucks and long enough for both sides https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/NOE8131509?impressionRank=1 Hard to tell from pics but it looks close. 2.25" is 57mm, so close to 55mm, probably close enough to seal with the proper clamp. Worth a closer look. Dorman makes it, 96003. https://www.dormanproducts.com/p-28304-96003.aspx Thanks @930cabman I bought that Dorman 96003 last year to replace my hose and it worked great. Used the original clamps. Actually have a pretty long section of it left after I used what I needed. |

I was thinking the same! 3 pages about a hose(s) ~ (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) nothing exceeds like excess. 3 pages is nothing when it comes to Van B chasing down L jet perfection.

Ha! Most of those pages are dead ends! At least on this one, several options were offered up, sizes and lengths confirmed, and we aggrieved the animal lovers… you know, the ones who refuse to beat dead horses with sticks? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dead horse.gif)

If anyone has a pic of the holding bracket for the longer hose you can share that would be great. I have some easy cheap ideas but a starting point would be nice. |

Funny thing is we have 2 camps her. The OEM hose is paper. I would use it if it were concours. The latter is just trying to find a hose that fit.
We can help you out on the 2nd camp We have been selling a more durable hose for years in 2 options. The aircraft hose got very expensive but was best. We have a 2nd alternative that is more durable than paper, but if your worried about damaging hose it's much better that the paper and aluminum. https://914rubber.com/search/?q=hose |

This one time, at band clamp... |

So my mid year 1973 914 2.0 came from the west coast to me in NH sans everything from the heat exchangers on up. I would like to put it back to original and will be in need of a complete setup and would prefer not having to piecemeal one together from bits and pieces. Far fetched perhaps but obviously not all feel the need for heat/defrost capability , witness all the cars running headers sans the exchanger sheetmetal. Let the unicorn hunt begin.

Mark @wonkipop posted the PET info earlier in the post for more info. Some of the parts are easier to find than others, lots of them are available from our favorite vendors on this site. I don't think a kit exists except maybe from a private hoarder. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) That is innacurate. The OE hose(s) were plastic accordion pleated with 22mm straight sections at either end where they were slip fit over & clamped to the J-tubes. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) |
