The original large hoses are flexible steel hoses which were then covered with a fiberglass and vinyl insulating blanket. The plastic hoses you see are probably beetle parts which don't fit type 3s.

For proper function you need 2 large and 2 small hoses. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
