The rear stops are Thing only and I think K-mann might have some used ones.

OK, one more time: the red ones I can either plug up or put hoses on... Since I don't use them... what should I plug them up with?

The oil filler/ breather tube/hose is blue correct? I think I got that from cip1...

The yellow that I drew is something that I need.... can anyone point me in the right direction on this one?

If any of you guys know the real names to these dumb hoses I'd appreciate it. Or links from cip1, or German Motor Works would be nice... then I'll get out of ya'lls hair! Wink

I think the names are:

Red: Fresh Air Hoses

Yellow: Pre-heat hose

Blue: Breather hose

To plug the (red) fresh air ports on the fan shroud, you can get freeze plugs from a hardware store, or these:

On the engine tin, you can use pop rivets and the top off of a coffee can to cover the holes.

For the yellow Pre-heat hose, you can use the same hoses that you would use for the fresh air:

http://www2.cip1.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=VWC%2D028%2D129%2D087%2DF

If you don't have the pre-heat elbow under the engine tin, you'll need that as well:

A little cheaper from Bughaus, plus you don't have to spend $50 or more:

I looked really close at that stop this weekend, and found its 181 part number. Definitely a Thing-only part.
