Hello all, I have a 1980 Westfalia in pretty rough shape, but got it for a good price.

Anyways, the last time I brought myself to get some work done on it, I seem to have removed a hose, and not only didn't replace it, but didn't leave the old one anywhere. I found a pic and put arrows pointing to the hoses in question, and while it has been found they are for directing airflow, I'm at a loss for what part I can use to replace them, namely the little white/black disc on the left side. Question

A separate question, on the left of my engine, there is a little green box with 2 connections on bottom, but they haven't been connected to anything since I bought the van. I placed a green circle where it is located approximately in my van.Though if this needs to be a seperate post, I can do that. This is actually my first post here! Embarassed

Okay, Welcome to the Forum.

You'd have found out real quick if you drove it that you had no brakes!

The big clear hoses are vacuum lines. The ones on the left are the brakes and the one in the center is a watch-a ma-call-it. Air valve of some kind that it's been so long since I've seen an early engine I forget the name.

There are a few vendors online we have which area godsend for us.

That little valve you are going to definitely need!

Disc shaped valve is the Deceleration Valve if I remember right, and is only on the manual transmission equipped vehicles, I think.
