I was wondering if anyone has a lead on '83-'85 cooling hoses for the
engine compartment. About a year and a half ago, I asked around and
found out that I could only get these from the dealer. Has this changed?

Also, there was a message posted to the list eons ago by someone who
substituted Chevy hoses for VW ones in their 2.1L Wasserboxer. Has
anyone tried something similar for the 1.9? I doubt that anyone can find
a substitute for many of the hoses, such as the two that wrap around the
top of the engine near the front, among others. However, if at least I
can sub a few hoses, I can save some cash and still get some good
quality hoses.

I'm in nomail mode, so please reply to all recipients. Thanks in
advance!

Best,
Sam
