Tank breather system hoses

I have tried two local auto factors for the 5.7mm fuel hose (recommended in Wiki) but both say it's a non-standard size.
Is VAG the only place I am likely to get it?

These people supplied all the hoses I used in my recent mechanical overhall. I found them to be very helpful. I think I used the 6mm hose for the fuel tank stuff.

They do stainless clips etc as well.

I checked with VAG and the correct hose is 5.5mm ID (not 5.7mm as in Wiki). I ordered this from VAG as I wanted to avoid a load of clamps but I am sure that the 6mm with clamps would have probably been easier to fit.
