Volkswagens. I have had them on a Golf, a Jetta, and a
Quantum in the past and think they are great.

Finding them for my Vanagon is proving to be a
problem.

Alex,

Knowing VW's famous penchant for parts
interchangeability between models, I suggest you do
your own cross-reference. By doing a side-by-side
part-number comparison of your Vanagon to, say, a
Jetta or a Quantum, you will find any brake hoses
shared by both vehicles. Then simply order the braided
SS hoses for the Jetta or whatever, and install 'em on
your Vanagon.
