The front tank to floorpan hose (160mm) changed from 5mm bore to 7mm from
'68 models (but not for the Type 34); elsewhere 5mm was originally used.  I
guess you will need at least 2 metres (7 feet?).  VW have generally
substituted 5.5mm hose for the 5mm now; they have a nice (if expensive)
internally reinforced hose which isn't as thick overall as some other
brands, so clips still fit OK.  The extra diameter seems to make fixing
kinder to the rubber (or whatever cr** they use instead of rubber these
days!).
