In the process of re-doing vacuum lines on my 1.8L Ljet. The vacuum line that has given me trouble before is the 22mm (blue in picture) which I cobbled together with less than desirable results.
I'm toying with the idea of using a hose from most scuba setups, the BCD corrugated inflator hose. It is rubber of some type, the ID diameter appears to be very similar, and I like the idea that it looks very flexible so it can be routed to look somewhat stock vs what I had before. Question is, what is this made out of, and how will it hold up? |

On my /6, I can't remember if it a 3 or 4" radius, but it gives you an idea how it looks.
BTW if you want a full 90* bend you need like 100* because it sort of bends back a bit. Attached thumbnail(s) |
