Hi all.

So the hose I wanted did not arrive, I sensed it may not arrive in a
timely fashion, so I ended up using 1.25" marine coolant hose for this
job. This hose actually made a gentle large radius ~ 45º turn quite
well only ovalling slightly, if at all. The Jetta hoses themselves
appear to be slightly larger than 1.25" so it's just as well I used
the stouter marine coolant hose; the 1.25" hose had to stretch a
little to accommodate the male x male couplers.
