    The BUGPACK thing is a breather box, looks like the rocker covers are vented, unnecessary on the type 4 but common on tricked up type 1 engines. Do you know what the engine spec is?

    R6 will leach fuel so will R7, R9 less so, 100% bio fuel tolerant hose is best. I bought mine from VW Aircooled Works. https://www.vwaircooledworks.co.uk/Fuel-Hose-Kit---Full-details.html

  3. Looking underneath there's quite a fare few metre's to replace ! :eek:. yes the rockers are attached via the orange tubing (so vented) . on the engine spec I was told around 2100cc.
    Whilst we're on the fuel subject , any cause for concern on the fuel pump . 20200419_163314.jpg 20200419_163330.jpg
     
  4. Crazy .. that’s why on my 914 I fitted braided Teflon hoses
     
  5. I have the braided hose on my Westy , is this an acceptable alternative to R9 ?
     
  6. No braided rubber and braided Teflon are worlds apart . The Teflon uses an olive and aluminium fittings
