1970 Colored Vacuum Hoses
I'm seeing a lot of "fresh" restorations with the colored vacuum line hoses from Fusick and ILT. I've never seen these on any of the originals cars I've been associated with outside of the white striped hose that runs from the OAI adapter vacuum motor to the T. The colored hoses are blue striped and yellow striped. Did these cars come like that originally or is this just one of those creative items parts vendors have started?

I have some originals that have color coded stripes on them.
The originals have the stripe molded in, while the repros have the stripe painted on.
Very obvious difference when you put them side to side.
The hoses under the dash are better preserved that the ones in the engine compartment, due to heat,

I went with the white stripe hoses on my W 31 and Stage 1 that is what I pulled off both cars.
