[T3] Brake hose?

[Jim Adney]

VW used special hose to make the various interconnects between the 
brake fluid reservoir and the master cylinder. Early cars used 5 mm 
ID hose, but VW changed to 7 mm ID hose that was blue in mid-'67. I 
can buy the late stuff, but I haven't found a source for the early 
hose.

What color was the early hose?

Does anyone know of a source? Or what do you use?

I sometimes come across cars where normal fuel hose has been used 
here, but it doesn't appear to react well with brake fluid. Has 
anyone found a good alternative hose that works?
