Post Vacuum Hose Rehab

Can anyone send me a half foot each of leftover 4, 6, 8 and 10 mm silicone vacuum hose so I can test and finalize the order for my vacuum rehab project? I want to try the hose out first and no one has any in Minneapolis. I'll pay the shipping, no problem.

Thanks,

Dan

Roy, I haven't progressed far enough to decide who to buy it from yet as I'm not sure what sizes and quantities to get. Trying to avoid having to order several small shipments and get the same color for all the vacuum lines so they will be easier to trace out in the future.

If you do a google search a bunch of sellers will show up and the cost seems to range around a buck a foot for the small 4mm to $3 for the larger 10mm. Some places sell complete kits for cars like the RX7, which is apparently an absolute vacuum hose nightmare, but I haven't seen any kits for 951s.

A vacuum diagram should be on the drivers side wheel well. If it has been removed, the Haynes manual will show your layout.

you should check out your local Kragen, or what ever you have. The rice craze has helped us in some ways picked up a silicon hose setup with four diffrent sizes for $30 at my local kragen.

I hope that he already has what he needs, as this thread is almost 4 years old.
