don't know if you mean the big ones or the small ones, but the big ones are 
available new from calimports (www.vwcalimports.com). about $150ea, i tҁJ rubber overflow tube for my gas tank is rotted away so bad ..... and also,

jim has the proper ones. however, i've found a good fix is to use a similar 
piece of hose from the overflow on beetle tanks. it's already the correct 
length and kinked to the correct shape (approx. an L-shape). plus, it'll only 
cost a dollar tops from a scrapyard. they're very easy to change - i've done 
mine in the past, and just changed a friend's at the w/end. it's attached to 
the metal filler neck with a hose clamp under the fender. this will certainly 
be mucky, and probably be rusty (when you put the new one on, cover it in 
grease or the likes). just rip it off if you have to. in the trunk, it will 
be attached to a plastic T-piece either by a hose clamp, or crimped clamp. 
10-minute job.
