where to get intercooler hoses?

[perelaar]

I want to replace the intercooler hoses on my 1997 T2, but I don't seem to find a decent supplier for small lengths of hose - I can only get them per meter.

No problem, but I only need a cm either side

Anyone a tip on a supplier?

What's the diamater of the hoses?

52mm springs to mind, not sure why :nenau

Diameter: not sure, I'll have to measure when I take the IC off again. Mav96: golden tip, thanks

Nice find just bookmarked that company.

I've just looked at the sizes and they don't list 52mm only 51mm so must be 51mm

Turbo side is 56mm with a 58mm lip, manifold side is 66mm with a 68mm lip, Rick

Rick, I presume for diameter I would need to buy the smallest one - as in, 56mm and 66mm, and press fit over the lip?

I was wrong :doh

Following this as I could really do with replacing the inlet manifold one:augie
