I have a box of #14 5/8" pan head self tap screws. Used screws
from the same box almost exclusively
for fuel return lines over the years. Just screw into a short segment of
hose. The caps were once available as a replacement part (I remember buying
several in the early 80's. Last time I checked, mid-90's, they were not
available. Having the screws flopping around always bugged me.
For the return hose, VW has always sold it by the meter. A couple of parts
places I've dealt with have tried to sell it "pre-cut" at several times
the VW parts price. Go figure.
If you buy it by the meter, you'll have a 2" segment leftover which you can
sink a screw into.
