Robert, I wished you would have checked with the list first.  I have the
fuel hose for the engine bay as a kit for $60.  That includes all German
parts (hose and stainless clamps) and instructions.  Even though you got
the band style clamps for cheap they are only zinc plated not
stainless.  Also they made you buy 25' of their "emanon" fuel line (no
name spelled backwards).  I supply 10 foot of the German hose because
that is all you need for the engine bay.  I have had really terrible
experiences with American made fuel hose.  I have had it burst on me
before, or the other problem I have had is that it gets as hard as a
rock over a very short period of time (6 months or less).  The German
line does not have this problem and can last at least 5-6 years safely
(probably longer but you should inspect you lines every year just to be
safe).  Finally at Van-Again we usually ship customer's orders out that
day.  Why on earth should you have to wait 7 weeks for your parts in our
modern world.  Even if I didn't have the parts in stock it would take me
at most a week to get them from the farthest part of the US.  If it was
a specialty or made to order part I could understand a delay but this is
something that every auto parts store in the US normally has on the
shelf.  Very strange.  In the future please feel free to email me about
any parts you might need.  I usually respond within a day.

Thanks,
Ken Wilford
