|
|
Minor (dumb, noob) question. Here's a picture I found in the gallery. It's not my photo. But it has the part I'm looking for.
I have a 63 bug with oil bath air cleaner. I'm missing that piece of hose he has on his, that goes from it, in front of the coil, down to the bottom tin.
Is this a specialized part I should get off WW or somewhere, or is it just a generic piece of hose? About to place an other for some other odds and ends, so I thought I'd find out. Thanks in advance.

That is stuff from a local store somewhere. The OG one is a black accordion style hose, just like the fresh air hoses. The factory tube also has a sweet spring clamp that stays nice and tight but can be unclipped very quickly.
From what I can see, most of those hoses are incorrect. The fuel line should be braided German for safety reasons, the oil breather (factory) is also braided breather hose but the one you have is adequate. |
