I'm trying to get hold of some R9 hose but having no luck. I've been asking for 5.6 mm. That's what's originally supplied with a 76 kombi (well, the microfiche says 5.5 mm but I'm not going to worry about 0.1 mm), and the Volksbolts article confirms 5.6 mm is the correct size.
Anyway, I'm just getting blank looks from everyone. Bursons has R9, but not in 5.6 mm (or 7/32"); only 5mm or 6mm. Even Volksbolt's links to their Ebay shop results in "out of stock" listings that cannot be ordered.
Any tips for where I might find 5.5 or 5.6 mm R9 fuel line where I can go and buy it from a shopfront?

They’ve got 5.5 mm but not familiar with R7 or R9 codes although he said he’s out of stock of the fuel injection ethanol resistant version which I guess would be the R9.

Been having a look and 5.6mm (or 5.5) is near impossible in R9
You can get the 5.6 R8 (low pressure) from JK
Will 6mm clamp on?
Could you get a conversion barb made up?
