I am need of the 1/2 diameter and 3/16 diameter for vacuum, trying to replace 40 year old lines in my engine compartment.

Any good sources out there, cip1 has the 1/2" but not the smaller one.

Anyone ?

Thanks in advance.

GPR.

And, just so you know, they're metric, so that's 12mm and either 3mm or 4mm, depending on the application

When I order a bunch I order from Pelican (old habit).
When I need one hose I shop at the bug shop in Portland.

be careful with the cloth braided hose. It is not rated for ethanol, and you have to check them every season for cracks now. degrades really fast.

- Shouldn't be an issue for vacuum hoses, right?

agree.gif The cloth covered stuff is fine for vacuum lines.

I always run the hi-pressure FI rated hoses for fuel even when running carbs.
