I have received the hose and am trying to install it. I have verified that the pn hasn't changed. However, the two previous posts where the hose fit without excessive twisting were on 1974 E9's (
@alprada70 and
@halboyles).
@TedS and
@billpatterson have the excessive twisting and the clocking on
@TedS is identical to the one I have. Also the 90 degree end on Ted's new one is a close 90 d fitting and my new one is a normal 90 d matching original. I suspect the reason my new hose is longer is because the hose length wasn't shortened when the 90 d end was changed.
Is anyone able to use this hose without excessive twisting on an E9 older than 1974? This twisting is excess of what I will accept for my car.
Alvaro can you provide the hose with 2 different orientations?
Here are the pics of my original compared to the new one which appears to match
@TedS. Also note the elbow and length differences. It would also help if the natural curve of the hose was reversed relative to the fittings.
