Source for 16mm cloth braid fuel hose?

Has anyone found a source for 16mm (5/8") cloth braided hose? I though it would be available from German car part specialists, but no such luck. I found 15mm and 17mm but no 16mm. I'm replacing all true fuel-carrying hose with US made SAE30R7 but would prefer to use the OEM style for the visible vapor/vent hoses. Alternately, has anyone used the 15mm or 17mm stuff with no issues?

 

Dennis, did you try Autohauze sp? I bought braided line from them in all sizes. Phone 1.800.240.4620

gotta wonder how 16mm is $112.75 a ft and 17mm is $13.95 a ft. Hope it's a typo

 

I sure hope so

They are reasonably priced and give great service. I buy parts for my German cars there.

 

I've called them too...no 16mm fuel line...only 16mm heater hose. I hope to stay OEM style, but I'll d*mned if I'll pay $100/ft to Ferrari sources for $5/ft hose.

 

Would 17mm work?

I'd drop them a note, it's probably a typo (an extra "1" in there).

 

I already did. Waiting for a reply. But it may be correct since 16mm appears to be used only by Ferrari.

 

I asked that vendor if they carry 16mm several days a go. 17mm is my 2nd option. It's OK to go a bit oversize for the vent lines that don't carry any significant liquid gasoline.

 

would be the 16/23mm Cavis Benz hose which was used on most of the 3x8 cars. Very few of cars that we've serviced have cloth braided hoses in the vent locations.

 

I wrote them as well.

 

I got a response today. It's $12.75/ft. My faith in humanity is restored. Vapor only though; which is OK. I'm using SAE30R7 hose where ever it carries fuel.

 

Dennis, try this:http://www.newcoproducts.com/new/cohline/hoses.php they're in Chatsworth. I just ordered 3ft of the 22mm, 19mm, and the 14mm cloth braided hoses.

 

Good find Mike! I went deep in Google for both Cohline and Contitech and they didn't come up. Just shows that Google has serious omissions.

 

How much are these hoses/foot ?

 

They only sells by the meter and kind of pricy but this is where the Ferrari restorer get their hoses. Sorry I didn't order 16mm but this will give you an idea, for the 22mm and 19mm hose, they are both $39.50/meter, 18mm is $42.50/meter, and 14mm is $34.52/meter, ope this help.
