Source for OEM Vacuum Hoses

[spyerx]

Hey all - i've scoured the web, host, everywhere and other than porsche $$$$ factory, has anyone found a source for the OEM hoses, cloth covered etc in these sizes? Trying to keep factory look (ON THE CHEAP!!!)

#99923901040 4x9 hose
#N0203612 4x1.5
#N0203611 12x2.5

I've been able to local all the other sizes need for the refresh i'm doing during engine drop.

Thx!

What are the three hoses for?

Also take a close look at the frunk fuel line hoses to the white evap box, those are leaking now after 30+ years. Ask me how I know.

carbon cansister and a couple others areas (i'm using PET and stocking up). i'm going to replace every piece of rubber hose i can get at while the motor is out... going to look at the brake booster one too.

i already replaced all the breather hoses in the frunk last year, along with the rubber joint between the filler neck and the tank.

i have some extra hose factory cloth wrapped for that area if you need it.

If just a breather hose for the canister, just use any cloth wrapped 3/8th in hose, it will fit just fine. I am actually using a straight rubber hose as it was easier to thread thru the grommet on the chassis. I will fail Concours for sure :-P

Oh thanks for the offer, I actually replaced those with the proper Cohline for Porsche brand, like the gas station hose lines, very expensive

Good idea on the brake booster line while engine is out, notorious for cracking at the harsh bend to the tunnel.

Do you have a source for the hoses? I'm coming up empty...

Did you check Belmetric? I have a different sourcing problem, I can't find vacuum hoses with a smooth rubber sheath for the CIS hoses.

I just order all the sizes, I know not economical but I figured I will replace them all and if I have left overs just give it to a buddy

Bingo. Thank you.

Lol. I tend to do same. I buy bulk.

I wonder if the cloth covering can be removed and the hose will relax to a smooth rubber? Might be the only way to get the hose I need. I'm not a concours fanatic but I like to use original materials if possible. I also think the smooth hose is easier to keep clean in the engine compartment.

Not sure if the covering can easily be removed. I'm not a concourse guy either, but this car is so original i'm trying (hard!) to keep it as original as possible.

I think i've gotten all the OEM sizes I can from pelican already.
But 4x9mm braided can't find! For example...

Try Midwest Hose. They have that hose on bulk rolls. The home office is here in OKC but they have offices in several states.

Try your local VW dune buggy shop as they usually have it all. (at least out here)
