Quick question on the fuel lines on a 246 GT. I am having trouble finding the correct replacement fuel hoses, 6 mm return hose and the 8 mm incoming hose. Can you still get the cloth wrapped incoming 8mm fuel hose anywhere? I am also looking for the clear carburetor, crossover hoses. Again, thank you for any help you can give me!

I havent purchased this product but it complies with SAE R9 which is good for ethanol related fuels. Spec looks good.

Beware lots of cheap imitations on the market as the hoses are made to a poor standard and will rot out in a few weeks, fake Codan R9 hoses were on the market for some time so beware.

Carb link clear CAVIS hoses from Superformance if you cannot find any US stockists.

Find a local VW Bug retail outlet for the correct original braid hoses
