We are working on a 79 super beetle vert with fuel injection and a few of the curved molded hoses are cracked and need replaced. Are they being reproduced and is there good sources for these hoses? I found one of two on few sites but not many.

Thanks

Welcome!
There are a few, a search for breather hose brings up these: https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=662369&highlight=breather+hose

In the end the best results come from a trip to your FLAPS and some time spent looking at thier wall of assorted heater hoses for other makes, there's often one you can use a segment of to suit the VW application.

Don't use heater hoses for fuel. It's a totally different kind of rubber and will not hold up. You can buy modern bulk 'straight' hose for use with fuel injection (look for 30R9 or 30R14 and "fuel injection" printed on the hose), and if you are looking at making some curves, look for the metal shaping coils if you can't find curved FUEL hose that is correct for your vehicle.

All the fuel hoses are straight 7.5mm on the beetle, it's the larger breather and auxiliary air hoses that require a molded curve.

But yes, J30R9 or better for anything carrying fuel.
