FLAPS that cater for imports should have them.  Be careful matching sizes
-- the ones I've used perish and split at the ends if the nipple is even
slightly too large.

Safety shouldn't be much of an issue since these hoses are used for vacuum
and low-pressure applications.  The ones associated with the fuel tank will
of course drip fuel on the ground under some conditions.  The pressure
hoses in the fuel system are of entirely different construction with
internal reinforcement.
