I still have some of the original sleeves, but most of it is off the engines because most of the US hose is too big for the sleeve to fit over it. I thought most of the old sleeving got thrown away with the old hose, but it's possible that your PO kept it. I'd hate to think that your hose is also original. You can tell original hose because it is attached at the ends with little crimp rings. If you have worm gear hose clamps, that hose has been replaced. The crimp rings have to be cut off to replace the hose. There were NO worm gear hose clamps anywhere on these engines when they were new. I also have a NOS bundle of that vinyl fuel hose sleeving.... -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
