Clutch flex hose

Coupe GT · 25-10-16, 08:10 PM

I need a new flexi hose for an '85 Coupe GT 2L. Part number 431 721 465. Any ideas? or does anyone know the spec so I can have one made. I'm trying to avoid taking off the old one before I have a new one to install.

A Mercedes sprinter brake flexi hose can be used,there's a thread on here somewhere about it

Not sure if its a sprinter pipe ( if so will be the same as fitted to VWs Crafters) but I thought it came from a Unimog mecedes military vehicle, Its what i used on mine and it works fine.
The only difference is its about 10mm longer and will need a little thought vis a vis routing it so it dosent chafe, i used a rubber grommet on mine to keep it clear of any obstructioins.

Hurry tho, the parts man I spoke to reckoned theyre going to go obsolete soon.
