Default Vaccum hoses, what sizes and how much of each do I need to get?

Does anyone know what the exact sizes are for an '83 N/A and how many feet of each I would need to replace everything that I can see or get my hands on? I would love to pull them all as I think that they are all original and most slip right off of any fitting they might be on every time I put my hand under the hood . I guess that I could just order 20ft of each but I think that might be overkill in some respects.

I would love to see something like 944online's water hose kit that has everything: http://www.944online.com/images/PA080024.jpg

Anyone seen a kit? Any help would be great .

Michael

Do a search in the 944 Turbo forum for MySwiss. He sells a kit for around $29 that will work great for you.

Mike, read thru this. You'll find out how to contact MySwiss. https://rennlist.com/forums/showthre...acuum+hose+kit I've been really thinking of doing this with my '83 also. The only problem I see is the shipping cost for me might be to high. Hes in Montreal IIRC.

Another option is Mcmaster Carr sells hard telfon vacuum line in the same as stock sizes. It's also transperant so you can see if it's clogged with oil. The stuff can easily handle the chemicals and heat better than almost everything else too.
It cost $25 or so (including shipping) to do 2 cars with what I got.
