The vendor did no such thing.  In fact they said they had no idea if
it would be fine.  They do have the 7mm x 3mm German hose but for some
reason only sell it in 20 meter rolls which is WAY more than I need.
They sell the 7.5mm German hose in 5 meter lengths which is much
closer.

One of the other well known vendors on this list sells 8mm BMW hose
for this application and so I thought perhaps 7.5 mm would be OK.  I
recall reading that the original 7mm is a VERY tight fit.
