I bought the kit for my 78. In addition to the fuel rails, my 78 also has steel lines on the inlet and outlet of the fuel tank. The kit came with less rubber hose because of those extra steel lines.Velokid1 wrote:The way the descriptions of the kits at German Supply read, the difference in the kits is that '76 and '77 both require almost 2x as much fuel line because there are no steel lines (?). There is a surcharge, too, to cover the extra line.
Surely they don't mean fuel rails?

This is what I do but I use German high pressure fuel injection hose usually sourced from a Porsche Dealer or repair shop...its the best quality I can find with the rubber coating that acid resistant...spiffy wrote:If it were me I would find the best quality hose made and then buy it bulk length and cut it myself. Just take one bit off at a time, measure, cut and then replace.
