John -

Check your ETKA again.  Illustration 32-30, just after item 9 in the text,
Part # N0203001, remarks column says 11x3.5 (11mm ID x3.5mm Wall thickness.
 Below that is the cut size for the hose #10 shorten to 390mm in the same
remarks column.  When looking for the hose part numbers, you have to
usually read the last text line before cut lengths of the hose.

I use 12mm Emissions Hose on both my 84s and my 914.  VW N0203741.  I
always keep some spare hose handy for replacement.
