 |
|
Anyone know of a replacement for the hard plastic tubing ('C' in Ratwell's picture) that connects the decel valve to the brake booster line? I tried Home Depot and a few local hardware stores hoping to find something, but nothing will fit into the rubber 'Y' connector at the plenum. Also, I figure since this is a brake booster line it should probably have some strength to it.

bone yard. I got mine from Jim at Interstate in Lake Elsinore. Took the whole vacuum system from a donor as ours was butchered.

I've had pretty good luck lately going into the back stock area of an autoparts stores and looking for molded hoses that will work from other cars. Sometimes I've needed to trim them but I almost always find one that works.
In my experience most of the stores will let you go browse the hose selection.
