VA-133 Oil Pressure Hose

I just installed my Oil Pressure Hose to the firewall manifold and the VA-133 cable called for in the plans looks different in my kit than the plans and what I've seen other builders use. The one I have is braided style flex tube, no fire sleeve on it. The plans make it look like it should have a sleeve and the called for Adel Clamps (DG7) are way too big for a non-sleeved tube.

Is this indeed the correct tube? It's the correct fittings on the ends at least and is labeled correctly.

Yes, Vans changed to the steel braid covered tubing, and yes, you need to change the Adel clamps on the firewall to a smaller size.
