I'm trying to find a source for the three hoses coming off of my charcoal canister. Part of the problem is knowing what the correct sizes are and after reading ratwell's pages on the subject I am still unclear.

This pic is taken from ratwell's site but looks like my setup.

From what I gather, at least one of the hoses is 13mm ID and 16mm OD. Is the larger hoses the same size for the right and left?
For the smaller hose on the right is that 7mm?

I found some at oreillys. It's located on their OTC shelf. It's in a plastic casing with green label,I dont know the brand.

I don't remember if it was labeled as vacuum hose but it worked for me.

I assume they weren't metric, so did you get 1/2" and what for the 7mm tubing?

Thanks! Part of being able to search properly means you must use the correct terms. I searched for charcoal hose and not fuel vapor hose. Doh!!

German Supply has them. They even haves complete vacuum kits depending on your year. I ordered this one for my 73 and was happy with it:

I purchased a vacuum hose kit (and fuel hose kit) from gs before but I don't remember it having the fuel recovery hoses in it that connect to the charcoal canister. I'll have to double check my parts box because I was expecting clear tubes whereas their kit uses braided hoses.

Both of the links in the previous posts go to the vacuum hose kits. This is the fuel recovery hose kit I would need:
