Finding them for my Vanagon is proving to be a problem.

Alex,

Knowing VW's famous penchant for parts interchangeability between models, I suggest you do your own cross-reference. By doing a side-by-side part-number comparison of your Vanagon to, say, a Jetta or a Quantum, you will find any brake hoses shared by both vehicles. Then simply order the braided SS hoses for the Jetta or whatever, and install 'em on your Vanagon.
