While replacing the three 12mm Vacuum Hoses on My Beetle I measured the three of them
I'm sure I did this once before but couldn't find it written anywhere.
shortest one - control valve to vacuum tank is 240mms or 9 1/2 inches long.
the one from the manifold to the control valve is 400mm or 15 3/4 inches long
the hose from the clutch servo to the control valve is 620mms or 24 1/2 inches long
Now the longer two hoses can probably be an inch shorter approx..
and painting these hoses Yellow has no effect whatsoever on the vacuum... ;D ;D
Now many autostick owners like to use the original Belmetrix type of Hose available in the USA
I use a red colored truck Air Hose 1200 psi TOTALFLEX made in the USA..

Lee - Is that a vacuum gage on the left side? How do you use that information and what numbers do you see? Bob

No Bob
its a fuel pressure gauge as I have an electric fuel pump and regulator
as the electric pump was flooding the carburetor...
I have never thought of using a vacuum gauge....
maybe in the future....????
cheers
