I'm searching for some 60mm diameter aluminium flexible heate exchange hoses for my type 3 squareback. The type 1 (50mm) ones seem easy enough to get, but everyone seems to be out of stock of the 60mm ones.

Does anyone have any or can point me in the direction of where to get them? Preferably local.

Classic Vee Dub, Vintage Vee Dub, Vollks and Just Kampers don't have any.

Cheers!

I'm not fussed if its factory or not. But I was at a few of those places yesterday, but no luck.
If anyone knows of any in stock in Sydney, please let me know. Alternatively, if you have some spare at home.

If you make a tube that fits inside the air outlet and bolt it into place so it sticks out of the alloy housing 25mm or so it will be reduce to 50mm so you can use the Beetle tube

I did that on all my type 3 engines

I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true
