Even the cheap American 5/16" hose is rated for 50 psi; it's fine at 30 even though it was made with 3-5 in mind. I find that it outlasts the 7mm hose by a long shot, not because it is better quality, but because it is sized better to the fittings. The 7mm hose must be stretched so far over the FI fittings that it rather quickly fatigues there and fails. I've seen failures in less than a year. I believe the 7mm was eventually replaced by 7.5mm, but 5/16" = 8mm is a much better choice. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
