plastic vapor and vacuum hoses

[brownbus2]

Does anyone have a source for the plastic hose for the fuel recovery line to canister and the ( 76 FI)?

or a work around?

Can it be braided vacuum hose?

Edit: I think I misread that. 1/2” heater hose works to go to/from the shroud, air filter, and charcoal canister if you just need to get the smells to stop.

You can use the braided stuff for the whole run. Vacuum advance/EEC is 3.5mm, usually black. Manifold/decel/FPR/retard is 4mm, usually green.

I get the plastic tubing from Mercedes parts houses because it comes in a dozen colors/stripes to match your paint.

you can use braided or get some clear hose from a big box store or online.

I was missing the plastic line on the passenger’s side rear. I sourced my replacement from Chris at the Busted Bus. The metal line from the left rear “t’s” into the right, and then i used a metal line and fuel hose to connect to the canister. Then braced the “ceiling” with aluminum angle from ACE. It has worked out well. Bob

The line from the driver’s side

The replacement line from Chris… with the “t”

All put back together.

Looks nice and clean...but non-functional?

Nevermind... I see the tee now.
