I have only used this hose to replace the rusted out metal pipes on the early Vanagons. I have not replaced any on the later models with the plastic pipes. My personal Westy with more than 600,000 km on it still has the original plastic pipes which are doing just fine thank you !
>>>>>>Frank, Re: Dennis' concern about distortion/ballooning etc; and the comment about the fit through the frame holes: I don't recall if you said you were using these hoses personally, but if so, how long have you had them on, were there any fitment or other issues, do you have pics, and so on?<<<<<<<
